PREFACE.

The family record herein submitted to the William White
posterity by Thomas White and Samuel White embraces not
only records of families, but incidents, historical facts, and
personal reminiscences which are calculated to show the
great part taken in the colonization and building up of our
great and prosperous country.

Peregrine White being the first-born white child in New
England, and the active part taken by Resolved's and Pere-
grine's posterity in shaping and establishing our institutions,
morally and religiously, offer and impart an elevating influ-
ence extending throughout our vast domain.

No traditional statements have been introduced into this
work which do not rest upon substantial grounds, deemed
equally entitled to credit to those of historical records. After
the death of William White his widow married Gov. Edward
Winslow, and Resolved and Peregrine were introduced into
their family, receiving those principles of religion and love of
freedom which have shown in the after life of their posterity.
The character of this work is to disseminate into this large
family a desire to imitate their virtues and pass lightly over
the errors of our Pilgrim Fathers, and if this is accomplished
the object of the authors will be attained.

Thomas and Samuel White.

CHAPTER I.

WHITE MEMORIAL.

It should be the pleasant duty of every descendant
of that earnest band of men and women who took
fortune and life in their hands, daring so much to
secure a free home for us, to turn to that Past, and
let our honored ancestry be an inspiration and bene-
diction to our lives.

Sacred writing records the close connection between
posterity and ancestry when it says, " children's chil-
dren are the crown of old men, and the glory of
children are their fathers."

Ancestors and descendants reflect honor or dis-
honor upon each other. Virtuous and godly chil-
dren are the gems in " the crown " of an honorable
ancestry, and in filial honor they in their turn cherish
them as their " glory."

We are a derivation from the past, and ought to
be considered and weighed in connection with it.
And it will embalm in the memory of the living the
lessons, example, and obligation of an honorable lin-
eage. And as the ancient Romans, when emigrating
to foreign climes, took with them the carved images
of their fathers, setting them in the place of honor in
their new homes, so it sets the lives of our fathers
before us to be an inspiration to our lives which we
can transmit to our children, bidding them to hold
the sacred trust entire, and so teach their children.

8 WHITE FAMILY.

It is well for us to go back in that past which we
would honor, and learn the causes that led to the
emigration of our fathers and the planting of the
germ of this great republic.

Puritanism began to rise with John Wyclif in the
fourteenth century. He could feel, think, and act.
His great heart was moved when he saw the " honors
of the church were given to unholy men ; priests do
eat up the people as though it was bread." And he
called for purity, for reform in the church of God ;
he tended and watered the weak plant of liberty in
the heart of man. Bold men like Wyclif, Huss,
Luther, and Calvin looked to see what the Bible
taught ; they read, thought, and decided for them-
selves. Their decision was thundered in speech and
action. Men gathered around them, for truth made
them powerful ; it was fresh and clear, not smoth-
ered with the ceremonies of an old organization
which tends to corruption.

The term Puritan was first applied to men of high
standing in the Church of England, but soon became
a term of reproach and ridicule and then persecution.
King James I said of them, they were " pests in the
church and commonwealth, liars and thieves." Men
and women were murdered and exiled, yet these
sturdy English men and women would not yield the
God-given right to think their own thoughts and to
worship God in the way they thought right. And
now we thank them tenderly, reverently, for their
" rebellion," for the world is reaping the harvest they
sowed in tears and blood. This freedom to think
and act had grown to such proportions in its century

of persecutions, that kings and laws became to them
as snares. Country and home lost their charms, and
life and property were risked and often lost. They
gathered together with difficulty and parted with
fear, until in 1607 they resolved to become pilgrims
and exiles to a strange land. Through the love of
Jesus and the extreme persecutions they suffered,
they became deeply attached to each other, and
determined that naught but death would sever them.
Under great difficulties they left England, thinking
to better their condition in Amsterdam, Holland.
Not finding sustenance there some went to Ley den.
One thing gave them much comfort : Under the care
and superintendence of their beloved pastor, John
Robinson, they enjoyed great freedom of worship.

But this proved to be a place not altogether satis-
factory. America had been discovered, and with its
discovery the character of its inhabitants had become
familiar to them. Notwithstanding all its evils, the
Pilgrims were determined to seek a place where they
could worship God as they thought right and proper ;
and we see them preparing to emigrate with almost
every obstacle flung in their way which persecution
could invent.

Yet " sore was the trial and grievous their misery,"
before they were able to settle with their families and
beloved pastor in the " fair and beautiful city of Ley-
den " in 1609, which was their home for ten years, and
their church increased to three hundred members.

Yet they knew they had not found the home of
"Religion and Freedom"; they must not rest but
seek farther. " Old age and grim and grizzled pov-

10 WHITE FAMILY.

erty was coming on them as an armed man," and
they must " lay the foundation for propagating the
Gospel of Christ in those remote parts of the world."

So they resolved to seek the new world, and on the
morning of the 22d of July, 1620, a few persons at
Delft-Haven knew that a small bark of sixty tons,
called the Speedwell, was prepared for a voyage.
The living freight of men, women and children
gathered on her deck ; some old, but mostly young.
They had come from Leyden, and with them came
their pastor, John Robinson. They believed they
had found the right way, and were now to go for-
ward on it, leaving behind the greater part of their
church and their minister. They were sad, but
hopeful; their conversation was low, but earnest.
Then their pastor, that " blessed apostle of piety,"
knelt down on the deck, and around him his com-
panions; he stretched out his hands and cried from a
bursting heart to the Lord. And we shall do well to
remember what he said.

The parting scenes on board the ship brought
tears to the eyes of the by-standers, when they
embraced each other with their beloved pastor, .Rob-
inson. Oh, the prayer he sent up to heaven at that
time, when most of them were to see each other no
more, and their farewell look was given ! Our dear
ancestors, Father William and Susanna "White, with
their first-born, Resolved, received that last benedic-
tion, never more to see their dear pastor. Though
the seventh generation, we feel the blessing of that
benediction and that prayer to-day. May we emulate
their virtues and honor their memory.

WHITE MEMORIAL. 11

It would be hard to say which were the most
bereft, those who went or those who stayed; but that
going marks the march of man toward the future,
and toward Freedom. They sailed for Southamp-
ton, in England, where awaited the larger ship, the
Mayflower, which was to lead the way to the new
world. On the 5th of August, 1620, the two ships
with one hundred and twenty persons stood out to
sea; but soon the Speedwell began to leak, and they
must return to Old England without delay. After
eight days' delay in Dartmouth they again sailed, on
the 21st of August; but soon the signals told of
further trouble, and it was decided that the Speed-
well should put back to England. (It was supposed
to have been fraud on the part of the captain, he hav-
ing been bribed by the Dutch.) And on the 6th of
September, 1620, the Mayflower set sail for America,
solitary and alone, but with courage and trust in
God.

The voyage was long and tempestuous, yet with
an undaunted purpose she opened a way toward the
setting sun. They had now been on the sea sixty-
five days, when on the 9th of November the low line
of the New World gladdened their eyes ; they thanked
God. They were weary and sick. Bleak and barren
as the shore was, it seemed delightful after the long
voyage. On Monday, the 13th of November, six-
teen men went ashore to explore, " with every man
his musket, sword, and corselet, headed by Myles
Standish." Winter had now set in, December with
its cheerless skies and bitter winds had come, and
they had found no place yet fit to rest. The captain

12 WHITE FAMILY.

of the Mayflower was impatient to be gone. They
sought for a convenient harbor and a site to land.
It seemed as if God was against them, but they
would not give up ; their end was not yet to be.
They finally gained the land, and found it a small
island (now Clark's Island) " this being the last day
of the week, they dried their stuff, fixed their pieces,
rested themselves, and returned thanks for their
many deliverances ; and the next day kept their
first Christian sabbath ashore." This was the ninth
of December, 1620 (O. S.). "On Monday we
sounded the harbor, and found it good for our ship-
ping. We marched into the land, and found a place
very good for situation ; so we returned to our ship
again with good news to the rest of our people,
which did much to comfort their hearts." This
Monday is what we know as Forefather's Day.
It is hallowed time, and that ground is holy ground.
But before they had found a place to land and settle,
those men of justice and sense, Carver, Bradford,
White, Brewster, and Winslow (the four latter edu-
cated men), drew up, on the lid of Elder Brewster's
chest in the cabin of the Mayflower, an instrument
which established the principle of individual liberty
as a right which has influenced the destiny of man
through all succeeding history. And on the 11th
day of November, 1620 (O. S.), each man was asked
to sign this compact:

" In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names
are under written, the loyal subjects of our dread
sovereign, Lord King James, by the grace of God
of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King Defender
of the Faith, and so forth, having undertaken, for

the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian
faith and honor of our King and country, a voyage
to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Vir-
ginia ; do by these presents solemnly and mutually
in the presence and one of another, covenant and
combine ourselves together into a civil body politic
for our better ordering and preservation and further-
ance of the ends aforesaid and by virtue hereof to
enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal laws,
ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices from time
to time as shall be thought most meet and convenient
for the general good of the colony unto which we
promise all due submission and obedience. In witness
whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names
at Cape Cod the 11th of November in the year of
the reign of our Sovereign Lord, King James of
England, France and Ireland the eighteenth and of
Scotland the fifty-fourth, Anno Domini 1620.

This compact may also be found engraved on a
stone in the yard of Pilgrim Hall, Plymouth, Mass.
This compact was signed by forty one men, who
with their families constituted the one hundred and
one. " This was the birth of constitutional liberty,
thus was organized the Rights of Man." And the
sixth signer of this remarkable compact was our hon-
ored ancestor William White.

It is recorded at Ley den that William Brewster
was a fustian maker (maker of cotton cloth). Wil-
liam White from London and Robert Cushman (who
came to America later) from Canterbury were wool
carders; Samuel Fuller from London was a say (silk)
maker; Edward Winslow from London, and William
Brewster were printers, and Degory Priest from
London was a hatter. Other exiles from various
parts of England were also recorded.

On the passage from England one died and was
buried at sea, and one hundred arrived at Plymouth.
By the spring of 1G21 one half of their number were
dead. Among that number was our father, William
White, the foremost to face danger and fatigue.
With us, his descendants, we not only cherish his
memory, but feel a thrill of honor, decorated with
pride, that we sprung from an ancestor whose princi-
ples, morals, and virtues were so noble. In this col-
ony, with such good and wholesome laws, based upon

religion, education, and morals, with all the religious
privileges man can desire, which has been handed
down and improved year by year for two hundred
and seventy-five years, establishing our present com-
mon school system, which has penetrated our whole
country.

While we try to realize the past, the hand of an
all-wise Providence shines through the whole rise
and progress of our sainted fathers as they left Eng-
land and colonized our country. We do not claim
for them perfection, nor do we think them free from
error ; yet the superstructure was so full of the life
of Jesus Christ that it has illuminated our whole
country, and we hope it will never be extinguished,
the history of our Pilgrim Fathers and their offspring
who settled New England, giving tone and laying
the foundation for a glorious republic, and the rights
to worship according to the dictates of their con-
science. Yet it was a struggle of years before it was
fully accomplished and the superstructure laid of
our common-school system, which is the bulwark of
liberty, and as long as supported and cherished will
sustain a republican form of government.

Besides the living monuments of the descendants
of the Pilgrim Fathers is the stone monument to the
Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth, Mass., as shown in the
frontispiece and described as follows :

The main pedestal is crowned with a gigantic
figure of Faith, forty-one feet high, 216 times life
size, holding in her left hand an open Bible, and with
her right hand pointing heavenward. On the four
wing pedestals are emblematical figures, representing
Morality, Law, Education, and Freedom.

William White's "Breeches Bible." — A Well-Pre-
served Book That Came Over In The May-
flower. — Interesting Historic Facts In The Orig-
inal Memoranda.

There seems to be in Hartford a genuine and
unquestionable copy of an old Bible printed in Lon-
don in 1588, and a part of it in 1586. It was
brought over in the Mayflower. A still earlier edi-
tion was printed at Geneva, twenty-six years earlier.
The later one is owned by Mr. S. W. Cowles, 891
Main street, who bought it, two or three years ago,
of Charles M. Taintor of Manchester.

The book is bound, in old style, in boards and
leather, but whether it is the original binding we can-
not say. At all events the book is wonderfully well
preserved. It is sixteen years older than a copy, con-
taining the same famous translation, which is (or
was) owned by Horace Johnson. This edition is
called the Breeches Bible because of the translation

"William White, His Book, 1G08.

WILLIAM WHITE TO THE FIFTH GENERATION. 17

of the original word, in describing the shame follow-
ing Eve's "fall," not as an "apron," but "breeches"
made of sewed fig-leaves. What greatly adds to the
interest and value of this edition owned by Mr.
Cowles is the evident fact that the book was owned
by William White, in England, in 1608; was brought
over by him in the "Mayflower" on that now world-
famous voyage; and that it contains, in ancient
handwriting, on the margin of the pages, and on
blank pages, a good deal of writing by White, whose
son, Peregrine, has become noted historically as the
first white child born on these shores. This old
Bible actually contains the elder White's record of
this domestic event, as well as other facts in his
family record — his marriage, etc. Here is a part of
the record, written on the margin of one of the leaves
of this old Bible :

Sonne born to Susanna White, Dec. 19, 1620. yt six o'clock
morning.

Then follows a line or more not very distinct, but
clearly referring to the domestic event as a cause of
"thanksgiving." The letter e, as in "meet," is
always written much as people now make an o.

There is a great deal of scribbling on the blank
pages, as on those separating Old and ISTew Testa-
ment, Apocrypha, and the original old hymns by
Sternhold and Hopkins ; for these latter, with the
alleged music, are contained in the book, and were
printed two years before the main part. This scrib-
bling, and childish work of picture-making, seems to
have been done after William White's death, and
apparently by some of his children or grandchildren.

18 WHITE FAMILY.

One grotesque little image, in very pale ink on the
margin of a leaf, has under it the name, Peregrine —
as if meant for him.

The leaf-margins, for a considerable space, are
much covered with writing — for paper was scarce in
those early days — and some lines almost cover others,
making it difficult occasionally to decipher all.

Perhaps the oldest of all the entries is this, — in
pale ink, on one of the margins, and in a handwrit-
ing that fitted with the fashion of writing in the year
of Milton's birth :

William White,

his Book,

1608.

Another scene, and one more historic, is referred
to in this entry :

Left Delft haven, in Holland, sailed for Southampton,
August 1619.

Another memorandum, or rather two, are these :

Leyden, Holland, March 1609.

At Amsterdam, Holland, April, Anno Domini 1608.

Here is another, — of much historic interest now.
It must be borne in mind that the dates of the
month are according to old style :

William White sailed from Plymouth in ye ship Mayflower
ye 6th day of September, Anno Domini 1620. Nov. ye 9th
came to the harbour called Cape Cod Harbour, in ye daunt-
less ship.

And perhaps a later had added, —

And brought back for William Brewster 1622-3.

The book had apparently passed into the posses-

WILLIAM WHITE TO THE FIFTH GENERATION. 19

sion of the Brewsters soon after White's death, in
1621. Their entries are usually dated "1622-3."

It is a notable circumstance that the children's
rude drawings of objects, when they include the
" metin-house," make it just like the "old original"
four-side roof, with a projection at the apex, that was
built in 1638-'40 for the First church in Hartford.

On one margin is a picture of an Indian, drawing
a bow, and here is written, —

Wee [were] greeted thus when wee came in on ye shore.

Another entry is this :

Some of our strong men went on board [on shore?] and
put to flight the natives whom we saw. They being afraid
of the Powder from our gunns.

Here is a memorandum, made at the time, of an
occurrence which has become as famous, in poetry
and in history, as the Conquest of England by the
Normans, 1066, or the Declaration of Independence,
1776:

Landed yt Plymouth. December ye 11th, 1620.

One margin contains these entries by two different
persons apparently:

This book is the property of William White and his wife
Susanna who embarked on board the Mayflower from Ply-
mouth, England.

We road with great Comfort on board ye Ship Lyon [in
some entries written Lion]. The promises we find in this
Book.

We took this Book with our Company on board ye ship
Lion, 18th July A. D. 1632. Returned yt to William
Brewster for Mr. William White who came with the Ply-
mouth Company and was made the Propertie of William

20 WHITE FAMILY.

Brewster for his Estate — His Book — Brought back to Ply-
mouth.

These memoranda, and many more, are on the
margins of the leaves of the Book of Common
Prayer, which precedes the Bible. One event — and
to the lonely and anxious settlers, after that awful
first winter in the New World, it was indeed an
event — and a saddening one too — was the departure
of the little vessel that had borne them across the
pathless deep. It is thus referred to in the antique
memorandum :

Ye Ship Mayfloiver departed from us, in ye month of —
March ye 12th, 1621.

We found ye ship Lion, 1632, and was greatly rejoysed.
Came Roger Williams on board Ship.

There is more, but it runs into the print and is not
very legible. A good picture of the ship Lion is
drawn on the margin.

The margin of one page has this, in a peculiarly
marked " ancient " style of hand-writing, such as was
customary in Shakespeare's time:

John Carver, Sonne of James Carver, Lincolnshire, Ye
man, called by ye grace of God, Governor of our Colony,
Dec. ye 10th, 1620, for one year.

Some of the family records, as that of John How-
land, date back to the days in Old England, before
the Mayflower and her voyage had been thought of.
Some of the pictures of Indians, drawing the bow,
seem to be the work of older persons than children.
One touching reference is made to the necessity of
levelling the graves, that were made in that terrible
first winter, in order that the spying Indians might

WILLIAM WHITE TO THE FIFTH GENERATION. 21

not know the truth as to the actual number the little
colony had lost. (It lost fifty, just half.)

Governor William Bradford appears, among others
of the Mayflower company, in these " marginal
notes " in the genealogical line.

The name of " John Cole, Cole's Hill," can be
deciphered out of much overlying scribbling; there
was and is such a hill in Plymouth.

THE OLD VOLUME.

While the imprint of the Old and " Newe " Testa-
ment in this antiquated volume bears date 1588, the
title page to the collection of Sternhold and Hop-
kin's hymns is dated 1586. The earlier edition
printed at Geneva, in 1560, was from a translation
by "three English exiles" — Whittingham, Gilby,
and Sampson. This later edition of 1588 says on its
title page that it is

" Translated according to the Ebrew and Greeke, and con-
ferred with the best translations in diuers Languages, with
most profitable Annotations vpon all the hard places, and
other things of great importance, as may appear in the
Epistle to the Reader."

It is of course printed in the old-time " black let-
ter," much like German text. The binding seems to
have been renewed, but it is getting very old and
brittle.

The collection of Sternhold and Hopkins' ( " and
others' ") songs — an arrangement for singing David's
Psalms which would have made David crawl — was
followed in the attempted congregational " singing "

in the Bay Colony for a long time. The title-page
in this old Bible thus introduces them:

Hopkins and others.

laying apart all ungodly songs and balades, which tend
onely to the nourishing of vice, and corrupting of youth.
1586.

One of the prayers is " A Prayer Against the
Divell."

ITS HISTORY.

Not much seems to be known of this old Bible
during the centuries that have elapsed since the first
Pilgrims had it. It is clear that after being brought
over in the Mayflower, it went back, after White's
death in 1621, to England, and was again brought
back; this time in 1622-23. Its subsequent experi-
ences are not recorded. Mr. Cowles bought it in
1892 of Charles W. Taintor (now deceased) of Man-
chester. The price he paid for it was $12. At
present he might perhaps get twelve times twelve
dollars for it.

Mr. Taintor's father wrote this note about the old

volume :

Manchester, Dec. 28, 1892.
S. W. Cowles, Esq.,

Dear Sir : In regard to the Old Breeches Bible, there can
be no rational doubt that it was brought over to Plymouth

S. W. Cowles.

WILLIAM WHITE TO THE FIFTH GENERATION. 23

by Mr. William White, who died there before April A. D.
1621. The White family records, written on the blank pages
and margins of the old Bible, are sufficient to confirm such a
belief, for no other family in Plymouth, without they were
allied to the Whites by consanguinity, would have been likely
to have written so much on the leaves in connection with
and respecting the White family.

It seems that the Bible passed from the White family into
the Brewster family, as the name of Brewster occurs in the
book frequently — (probably written by a son or grandson of
Elder William Brewster). The historical facts recorded on
its leaves were written (to judge from the style of the
handwriting) two hundred years ago, when those facts were
fresh in the memory of the writer. It was also the fashion
of those days to write passages of Scripture on blank pages
and margins of books as we find them in this old Bible. A
portion of the writing was doubtless done by the son or
grandson of William White, and a portion by a Brewster of
collateral generation from the emigrants.

Yours truly,

Charles M. Taintor.

The owner has this note :

I bought this book from Mr. Charles W. Taintor, Man-
chester, in December, 1888 (I think). Called to see him in
December, 1892, learned he had died about one year ago.
His father looked over the entries in the book and afterwards
sent me this letter. Also called on Judge Adams : see his
letter on the opposite page. S. W. Cowles.

Hartford, June, 1893.

This is the letter from Judge Adams :

Hartford, Dec. 30, 1892.
From such examination as I have been able to give to the
Bible above referred to, this morning, I see no reason to

early as 1608, and brought over by him in the Mayflower.

State Librarian Hoadly, perhaps as good an
authority as any in New England, substantially con-
firms Judge Adams's view. — Hartford Times.

William White was one of that little " handful of
God's own wheat " which had been nailed by adver-
sity, tossed and winnowed until earthly selfishness
had been beaten away from them, and left them pure
seed, fit for the planting of a new world, and their
journal says at that time, " being now passed the vast
ocean, and sea of troubles before their preparation to
seek out a place for habitation, they fell on their
knees and blessed the Lord, the God of Heaven,
who had brought them over the vast and furious
ocean and delivered them from all peril and
miseries thereof." Therefore it was with this faith
and trust in God that our little band were able to
lift up their voices in prayer and song mingling with
the sound of winds and waters, consecrating our
American shores.

He had done what he could and was called up
higher soon after his arrival here. William White

We must think of her as the brave young mother,
who had left the old home of tender, living ties and
holy graves, for the hardships of the new and untried
life ; think of her with her babe in the tossing May-
flower, when

WILLIAM WHITE TO THE FIFTH GENERATION. 25

" 'Twas bleak and wild on old Cape Cod,

'Mid the fierce November gale,
While there the little Mayflower roamed

With a lingering stranger's sail;
And close a fair young creature clasped

Her helpless infant's form,
And cheerily sang through the chilling blast,

' Oh ! a mother's heart is warm.' "
Let our hearts thrill with reverence when we mention
our Foremothers, our Forefathers.

Resolved 2 White came to New England with his Pilgrim
parents, Mr. William White and wife. He was born in Ley-
den, Holland, about the time they resolved to seek a new
home in the wilds of the western world, and received his name
from that circumstance. He is supposed to have been six
years of age at the time of the Mayflower's arrival.

He mar. Judith, daughter of Mr. Wm. Vassal, of Scituate
April 8, 1640. Their children were :

1. William, b. April 10, 1642; d. at Marshfield, 1695.

2. John, b. March 11, 1644.

3. Samuel, b. March 13, 1646; removed to Rochester, Mass.

4. Resolved, b. November 12, 1647.

5. Anna, b. June 4, 1649.

6. Elizabeth, b. June 4, 1652; mar. July 17, 1672, Obadiah

Wheeler ; children (I) Obadiah, b. mar. Hannah Fletcher.

He sold lands in Concord to Peregrine White, Jr., in 1710. They
had a son Peregrine.

7. Josiah, b. Sept. 29, 1654.

8. Susannah, b. 1656; mar. Uriah Johnson.*
Mrs. Judith White d. 1670.

She was a mother and woman worthy of her times ; like
Wickliffe she could see, hear, and act. When the Quakers
were persecuted in court she could not sit still and hear them
denounced with threatened persecutions and death, but

(woman as she was, who had been taught to sit in
silence in the church) arose and sternly rebuked the corn-
plainer for his unchristianlike talk and behavior ; and to her
bravery, and influence over her husband's half-brother, Gov.
Josiah Winslow, he refused his signature to the circular sent
by Massachusetts Bay Colony, and that no worse persecu-
tions are found written on the Old Colony Records, she is
entitled to the grateful remembrance of the Pilgrim daugh-
ters. Green as Green Harbor be her memory.

Resolved, mar. (2d), August 5, 1674, Abigail, widow of
Wm. Lord, of Salem, b. 1606. She made her will in 1682
and was living in 1684. He owned lands in Scituate in 1638
at the place afterwards sold to Lieut. Isaac Buck, a half mile
south of the Harbor. In 1640 he had a grant by order of the
Colony Court, of 100 acres upland marsh on Belle House
Neck adjoining Mr. Vassal's farm on the south-east. He had
also other lands adjoining by deed of gift from Mr. Vassal in
1646. In 1662 he sold his house to Isaac Buck and removed
to Marshfield. He seems to have had two houses, the one
near Buck's Corner and the other at Belle House Neck. In
Marshfield he settled near his brother, Peregrine, on the
South river. None of their children settled at Scituate.
Their posterity is found in Bristol County as well as
Plymouth. Some of them may have removed to Barbadoes.

He was one of the original twenty-six purchasers of the
first precinct in Middleboro, March, 1662, from the Indian
chief, Wampatuck. They returned to Plymouth during
Phillip's war. Several of them sold their shares and did not
return.

Resolved d. not far from 1680. He made two depositions,
which are on file in the office of the Clerk of Courts.

step-father, Gov. Edward Winslow, after 1632. He mar.
about 1647, Sarah, dau. of William and Elizabeth Bassett
(passengers in the Fortune, November 10, 1621.) He settled
on an estate given him by his father-in-law, lying between
North and South rivers, not far from their united outlet to
the ocean. This tract was early granted to Mr. Bassett by the
freemen of the Colony. Mr. Bassett was one of the land com-
mittee of the Colony and was a large land holder. He resided
in Duxbury ; removed to Bridgewater, probably about 1645
or '48, as at that time Bridgewater was settled by freemen
from Duxbury. All Duxbury freemen were given lots to
remove there, but only few moved. But many of their sons
settled there afterwards. Mr. Bassett d. in Bridgewater,
1667. He left a large and valuable library for that period
to his son-in-law, Peregrine White. Children :

and give them warning, and in case they do not redress their

of the raters, (now selectmen) 1651-1655, representative to
General Court, 1659 ; grand juryman, 1660 ; selectman 1661

Taken from the Old Colony reports.

On the Marshfield church records appears the following in
Rev. Edward Thompson's hand-writing (record previous hav-
ing been lost or destroyed) : " Capt. Peregrine White, the
first born child of New England was admitted into the
church in the 78th year of his age." On the occasion of
which Rev. Mr. Thompson preached from Matt. 20: 6-7.
"And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others
standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the
day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired
us. He said unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and
whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive."

It is stated that he was a son always filial and loving,
visiting his mother daily, riding on a large black horse, his
coat buttoned with buttons the size of a silver dollar. In
the Boston Weekly Neivs Letter of July 31, 1704, the fifteenth
number of the first newspaper printed in New England, ap-
peared the notice of his death. "Marshfield, July 20, Capt.
Peregrine White of this town died here the 20th inst., aged
83 years and 8 months. He was vigorous and of a comely
aspect to the last."

The exact spot of his interment is unknown, but probably
in the Winslow burying-ground where his mother was buried.
An old book, "The Life of John Eliot," written by Cotton
Mather about 1695, once owned by Peregrine, is now in the
possession of E. L. B. Howard, Cambridge, Mass. It bears
the autograph of Peregrine White, 1702, two years previous
to his death.

The following is taken from a tomb-stone in the Winslow

old chest he brought with him is also in Concord. The house he
first lived in was a mere wigwam built on the side of a hill where
the hill formed a part of the house. He was a well educated
man, well off in England and quite intelligent as was all the party
that settled in Concord who came over with him.

by that denomination. It was called Trinity church and was con-
nected with the Episcopal church St. Andrews of Hanover, the
rector officiating there one Sabbath in four. Mr. Davenport was
the first minister who preached there. Mr. Griswold also officia-
ted there. A new church was erected in 1826, two miles north
west of the first building, only an old graveyard marking the site.

to his nephew, Abijah White. Joseph White was a conscientious
man ; once he mistook the Sabbath day, and was on his way to
the mill with a load of apples, when he was informed of his mis-
take ; he stopped immediately, took off his oxen, leaving his cart
on the spot, and strictly observed the next day for the Sabbath.

Thomas bought a farm in Dorchester, sold out, and moved to

He died about the year 1770 ; and his wife, Rachel, died about
1794. His son, William, then bought out the farm at the age of
about 33, and agreed to support his mother during her natural

desire you to come to Marshfield and there administer the ordi-
nance of Baptism to the persons above named ; and also that one
of the brethren of the Church who dwell in Boston may accom-
pany yourself. And the reason we are thus desirous is
and we also have a great desire to see yourself once more at
Marshfield doing your ministerial office. And further, we would
inform you that those persons who have desired baptism, are per-
sons of unblemished character, and persons who we believe are
well grounded in the Christian faith. Sir, this comes from your
hearty well-wishers :

oblivion, preserve and hand down correctly to coming generations,
the history of the past, with its hardships and triumphs. Con-
sidering herself a link between the past and future, she left
money (from her not abundant means) assisted by friends, to
erect a monument on the Ancient Burying Hill, to the early set-
tlers of Green Harbor, determined that

"They should not sleep forever

Unhonored in their graves,
Who braved for us the battle shower,

And walked the stormy waves.
Their dust is calling from the ground,

With strong and steady cry ;
For unlettered are their spots of rest,

And their names are passing by."

woman. When she passes away, an untold amount of correct

Following is a copy of a hymn written by Vassel White, on
the occasion of the dedication of a church in central New York :

A DEDICATORY ANTHEM.

With joyful hearts and tuneful songs

Let us approach the mighty Lord ;
Proclaim His honors with our tongues

And sound His wondrous truth abroad.

His glorious name on golden lyre

Strike all the tuneful choir above,
And boundless nature's realms conspire

To celebrate His matchless love.

A Heaven of Heaven is His bright throne,

And cherubs wait His high behest,
Yet for the merits of His Son

He visits man in humble dust.

In temples sacred to His name

His saints assemble round His board,

Raise their Hosannas to the Lamb
And taste the supper of the Lord.

William moved from Bolton, Mass., to Templeton, from which

place he moved to Marlborough, N. H., about 1778, where he
purchased a tract of wild land, now owned by his grandson,
Thomas. He sold his farm in Bolton for $2,600, taking his pay
in Continental money, which proved nearly all worthless, leaving
him a poor man with a growing family on his hands.

Taking his family and goods upon a two- wheeled cart, which he
made without iron, and drawn by a pair of steers, he came to

POSTERITY OF THOMAS WHITE. 57

Marlborough. He staid over night in Monadnock No. 4 (now
Fitzwilliam) paying a $10 bill, Continental money, for his lodging.
This was his last money except a $5 bill, which the writer has
seen. It seems he kept a part, or all, of Lots 48 and 49, paying
half down and taking a bond for a deed which he could not fulfil,
as his money was worthless. Here in the woods he built a log
house. Now comes the struggle between life and starvation.
At one time he took a bag, finding his way by marked trees to
Northfield, Mass., a distance of 26 miles. Here he worked for
two bushels of grain, which he carried back to Marlborough on his
shoulders. Becoming exhausted at Winchester, he sat down on a
log. Near by was a log house, to which he went, asking for
something to eat. The woman gave him a crust of rye and Indian
bread, which was all she had. It seemed to him to be one of the
best morsels he had ever eaten. He proceeded on to Swanzey,
where he got his first meal.

The following three years were so cold that no corn ripened in
Marlborough ; with excessive snowy winters, in one of which the
snow fell to a depth of six feet upon a level. In the spring the
melting snow caused so much water in the " Branch" and " Robin
Brook " that there was no passing off the hill. The seven fami-
lies in what now constitutes District No. 7, becoming destitute
for food, raised a flag on the hill back of William White's cabin.
It attracted the attention of Mr. Phillips, who lived on a neigh-
boring hill. On learning the situation, he and his son carried
three bushels of potatoes to a narrow place in the "Branch,"
throwing them over one by one and relieving their pressing need.

The first cow he bought caused great joy to them all. At the
first milking, having no bread in the house, the children picked
red clover blossoms which they ate with their milk.

With all the hardships, none died young ; the average age being
78 years, and the youngest, Ruth, was the first to die, aged 63
years.

William White attended church at the old Congregational church
at the Centre. He was a large, stout man and a constant reader
of the Bible, a large portion of which he had at his command.

William White d. January 8, 1820, aged 84 years, and his
wife, Lydia (Groodale) White, d. July 10, 1820, aged 80 years.

I, Everett E. White, was born in Marlborough, N. H., Feb-
ruary 14th, in the year 1829, in the old house formerly known as
the Gates House, living in Marlborough until sixteen years old,
when I went from there to sea, sailing from Newport, R. I., on
the good old bark Damon, on a whaling voyage. After being
out two months and taking one whale our vessel was struck by a
white squall, which so disabled us that we had to put into the
first port that we came to, which was in the Cape De Verde
islands near the coast of Africa. After staying there four
months I was put on board the bark Liberia Clipper and came to
Baltimore, Maryland. From there I shipped on board a brig-
then lying at Georgetown, Md., to carry flour to Kingston,
Jamaica, West Indies. There I was taken sick with yellow fever
and reported as dead, but recovered. After staying there ten
weeks I got a chance to come to the U. S. on an English brig ;
working my passage to New York in the autumn of 1847, without
coat or shoes. Was taken to Sailors' Home, and after staying
three or four days I enlisted for the Mexican War, which was
then in progress. I was put on board the old receiving ship
North Carolina. After being; on board about a month I was

transferred to Norfolk, Va., and put on board the frigate Brandy-
wine, which was then under way with sealed orders. When the
orders were read we found that we were bound to the coast of
Brazil to relieve the frigate Columbus, then just off the coast of
China. After being on board nearly two years and capturing six
or seven vessels, there was one then lying in the harbor of Rio
de Janeiro which threatened to sink us if we tried to take her.
Volunteers were then called for as our men were short. I heard
the call, and being tired of the monotony and wishing to visit
home once more, I was the first to respond to the call and was
promoted as quartermaster and transferred to the brig Perry.
After clue time we captured the vessel and I came to the states
as one of the prize crew. We suffered untold privations on our
voyage home. We thought we should be about forty days in
coming home, so took sixty days' provisions. But we encoun-
tered five gales of wind in succession, doubling the different
capes and nearly drifting on to the Bahama banks, fiinally get-
ting across the Gulf Stream and back to within signalling dis-
tance of Brooklyn Navy Yard. We then hoisted the signal of
distress and they sent out a boat manned with sailors and took
us into port, not a man of us being able to stand on his feet. We
were then seventy-six days out and nearly starved, having been
on short allowance for several clays, but the doctor took us in
hand and soon fixed us up ; and in about five or six days our dis-
charges came on from Washington. I then took two short voy-
ages and returned home to Marlborough, N. H., about the year
1850. I then went to work for my brother Levi, and afterwards
with Augustine Snow at Alstead, N. H. While at Alstead I was
married. In 1855 I emigrated to Wisconsin where I remained
until 1860. I went down south to work and was in a small town
by the name of Fayette, Miss., on the day of Abraham Lincoln's
election, and lived in the vicinity of Cole's creek until early in the
spring of 1861, when I made my escape to Cincinnati, O., on
the last boat that came up the river only three days before Fort
Sumter was fired upon. I then went to recruiting for the three
months' service, and when the call for three years' men came I
enlisted in the Fifth Ohio Infantry as musician and was after-
wards promoted as hospital steward and served during the war.

leaving Atlanta we were skirmishing and fighting nearly every
day until we reached Savannah ; fighting every day in front of
Savannah from Dec. 15 to 21, when we occupied the place. For
some time after leaving Savannah, Ga., we marched through
South Carolina, still fighting our way. Our next battle was at
Chesterfield, S. C, March 2, 1865 ; next at Averysboro, N. C,
March 16, 1865; then Bentonsville, N. C, March 19 to 21,
1865. After that we lay encamped at Raleigh, N. C, until J. E.
Johnson's surrender, April 26, 1865. From Raleigh we marched
through to Richmond, Va., and looked over the old battlefield of
the Wilderness, where we found many skeletons of the boys in

blue still left unburied. Then on to Chancellorsville, Va., our
old battle ground that we left some two years ago, where we found
many skeletons that had been rooted out of the ground by the
hogs, they having been hastily buried. It was here that I had
quite a little adventure. While engaged in this battle there was
a reb sharpshooter in a pine tree in front of our position, who
gave us great annoyance, having killed five or six of my regiment.
I told the boys this would never do ; that I would go out and put
a. stop to it. So I climbed over the breastworks and went out to
our picket line, but the picket would not let me out, and while
walking his beat I run the picket line ; told him — the reb — to
come down, and he came, gun and all, and I have the gun in my
house at this time. From Chancellorsville we marched on to
Alexandria, Va., and from there through Washington, where we
lay for some time. It was here that I met my brother Lewis,
whom I had not seen for years. From there we were sent to
Louisville, Ky., and thence to CampDenison, Ohio, and mustered
out of service. I was in the Fifth Ohio Vol. Infantry, Co. K
and H, in the old 12th Corps, Army of the Potomac, and after-
ward transferred to the Army of the Cumberland, 20th C. ;
re-enlisted at Bridgeport, Ala. I have recently received the
bronze veteran medal of honor from the state of Ohio for service
rendered from '61 to '65, and I feel justly proud of the same.
Yours truly,

Everett E. White.

Death-bed Reflections.

Marlborough, N. H., October 15, 1865.
By the death-bed of my father now sitting by his side 1 pen
these lines. He has been a kind parent to me, whom I have
loved. Many times I have listened to him when in secret prayer,
heard him pour out his soul to God for the salvation of his dear
children, and have seen him rise from his knees with his cheeks
bedewed with tears. Oh ! what auxiety he has felt for me. I
believe his prayers have not all been in vain. God will hear the
fervent prayer of his saints, and after years of toil take them to
himself where, I have faith in God, my sainted father will join
mother who has just gone before, where fathers, mothers, broth-
ers, sisters meet to part no more. Oh, what a glorious meeting
that will be ! Will that be for me to enjoy ? Blessed thought.
Shall it be my lot? Yes, if I do right and live right, which may
God grant. O Lord, give me grace and wisdom to accomplish
my mission. I believe but few enjoy what I do tonight. My
mother was given to me eighty-two years, father almost eighty-
three years, and all their children yet alive ; the youngest, forty-
two ; the eldest, fifty-seven. One quarter of my children have
already gone to the other world. While I reflect upon the past,
God's mercy shines clear through my existence into the future.
I will rely still upon Him who has said, "I will never forsake
those that put their trust in me."

Oh, death-bed scene, a solemn place,
Yet one of joy, not sadness ;
So soon to exchange this world of care
For one of joy and gladness.

Best, father, rest, thy sorrows are past,
In glory thou shalt rest at last ;
So soon to enjoy that blest repast
With mother and dear ones at last.

The time has come, just half-past four,
When our dear father breathes no more.
The spirit's flown, the goal is won ;
Enter thy rest we will not moan.

POSTERITY OF THOMAS WHITE. 83

With streaming eyes our faith doth soar
Up to the bright eternal shore,
Where Jesus stands with out-stretched hands
To receive the dear ones in his arms.

Now oub father and mother dear
Having left this earthly choir,
Methinks by faith I see and hear
Thee sing as in the days of yore.

Singing so sweetly on that shore,
With saints and angels ; yea, and more,
Salvation through th' atoning blood
Of Christ, the Paschal Lamb of God.

Lines written upon the death of Arthur by his father, caused by
his painful pleadings : —

Father, you are a praying man,

Pray for me that I may live and useful be,

For God has said that prayer shall be heard,

And good I '11 be, for a good boy

I 've always meant to be.

And if I 'm spared in future life,

The will of God may be, a good boy

I'll always be, and serve Him faithfully.

Pray, father, pray for me.

Father prayed in agony that his dear son might live.

But prayer is not heard ; faith

Cannot reach the throne of Him we love,

But a sweet return of "Thy will be done"

Comes to the heart of grief.

How hard it seems, — "Thy will be done."

Pray, father, pray for me.

If we could see as God doth see,

How reasonable that prayer would be !

The future is veiled, we cannot see,

Like a confiding child, I'll cast my all on Thee,

My Saviour, who taught me to say,

On earth Thy will be done.

What can I do ? My child does cry, —

Pray, father, pray for me.

The father prayed, but bereavement's dart doth enter

the heart.
Death cannot be stayed ; the River of Death he must

wade.

88 WHITE FAMILY.

With the delirium of disease his last words were these, —

"Grandpa, grandpa, take me home, take me home ! "

His eyes are now closed in death,

And we have laid him away in the cold grave

For to stay until the last day,

When Ave expect he will not say, —

Pray, father, pray for me.

So soon again death has visited us, — our dearly beloved
Arthur, aged 18 years, 11 months, and 8 days, died Tuesday
morning at half past two. Solemn scene, — sad will be the recol-
lection of this night of sorrow. While we around the death bed
of our dear one poured out our souls in anguish to God in prayer
that we might all be united when we, too, should leave this world
of sorrow and sadness. That we might be an unbroken number
in that world of joy and gladness where no sorrow nor death will
ever come. We had anticipated much joy with the dear departed
one. He was mild and lovely, ever ready to join with us in sing-
ing the social family songs. He had a quick ear, loving music.
He was foremost of our number, and the joy and bliss we have
experienced will long be remembered. Congestive typhoid fever,
that cruel scavenger of death, caused delirious moments of pain-
ful pleadings to be "carried home." He had a great desire to
live. His love of home and friends was strong. He, too, anti-
cipated life and happiness in the future. "So soon, so soon
passing along, right along." He left this world of sorrow and
sadness for one of joy and gladness, just fifteen days after the
death of his grandfather. The last audible expression a few
moments before he breathed his last, throwing out his arms and
looking around, was, "Grandpa, grandpa, take me home."

POSTERITY OF THOMAS WHITE. 89

Sister AVhite experienced religion some twenty years ago under
the preaching of Rev. Irad Taggart, pastor of the Methodist
church in Marlborough, where she then resided. She ever after-
wards adorned her profession by a well-ordered life and Christian
character. She loved the church services, especially the Sabbath-
school, where she was early led by her pious parents. She was
always cheerful, genial, and pleasant, and had a smile for every-
one. Her funeral was held in the Methodist church in Marl-
borough where her parents reside and where she had lived all her
life with the exception of a few months at the close of life. Rev.
J. W. Bean officiated at the funeral, which was very largely
attended, the church being crowded. Mr. Brown spoke of her
evenness of disposition. He said, "As you found her one day,
so you always found her." The Grange of which she was a mem-
ber attended the funeral in a body, and furnished some very
beautiful and appropriate music. She was also buried in accord-
ance with the rites and ceremonies of the Grange. A profusion
of flowers adorned the beautiful white casket. She parted with a
dear sister only about a year ago, Mrs. Amy G. Peaslee, and has
two sisters and a brother left — Henry C. Smith, Miss Carrie A.
Smith, and Mrs. Nellie M. Olmstead, of Monona, Iowa. " Blessed
are the dead who die in the Lord."

ter service, or been oftener under fire. Few regiments went
through the war with so much harmony of feeling among officers
and men with so little grumbling. When calls were made for
names of men to whom medals should be awarded for especial
gallantry on the field, few were ever given, for the reason that it
would have seemed invidious when all did their duty so unflinch-
ingly."

I, Thomas White, was born in Marlborough, on the old farm of
my grandfather, William White, whom I well remember, although
but two years of age when he died, as a venerable looking old gen-
tleman leaning on two canes. Always having a fondness for old
people whom I reverenced and loved and in memory often recall
their faces. I remember in my earliest days, the earnest personal
prayers of my Christian parents, who taught me the blessedness of
pure and undefiled religion. Making a confident of my dear mother
in my early life work, which has been a great blessing to me all
my life. My parents in the support of their parents, had
a hard time to supply the comforts of life. At the age of four-
teen, I matured plans to raise money to liquidate my father's
debts, working six months for Elias Hardy of Dublin, for which
he paid my father forty-two dollars. I spent a happy season at
his house, and he, appreciating my work, gave me all the holi-
days and twenty-five cents to spend at muster. He said to my
father, — " He is a good boy and well earned his wages." I con-
tinued to work out, and when eighteen years of age, had my
father's debts paid and the mortgage lifted.

At twenty I took a job of making brick at Whitehall, N. Y., of
a Mr. Goodale, who was a contractor and builder, manufacturing
his own material. After I had made 400,000 of brick, he refused
to pay me. It was during the panic of 1837.

92 WHITE FAMILY.

My uncle, living at Polley's Landing, undertaking to collect,
sued my employer, whose wealth consisted of real estate. The
court granted my claim, but when the injunction was issued no
property was to be found, as he had deeded it to his son and
daughter. In after years his son and daughter refused to return
a dollar to him, and he and his wife spent their last days in the
poor-house.

About this time I married, and was in debt for six hundred dol-
lars, but I labored energetically for several years building roads,
never making a failure although young and inexperienced. Suc-
cess followed me. I went to Montreal, where I engaged in the
manufacture of spruce beer. The business being distasteful I
continued it but three years, paying all my debts and returning to
the states bringing home $2,400, with which I bought my father's
farm.

For several years I was a salesman of nursery stock, and was
also engaged in selling Colton's atlas and maps. AYhile thus
engaged, passing from New York to New Haven, I was in the
terrible railroad disaster at Norwalk, Conn., where over fifty
were killed and many wounded. The accident was caused on
account of the draw-bridge not being closed and the engineer
being under the influence of liquor. Going through the bottom
of the car, I was thrown into the river where the water and mud
was about sixteen feet deep. When I '.arose, I was hauled into a
boat severely injured. I was confined to my bed about four
months, and have never fully recovered yet have been able to
labor some.

Father of twelve children ; two sons enlisting in the late war,
one of whom died in camp ; the other being wounded returned
home, and was a great sufferer until released by death. I also
buried another son the same year my father and mother died.
Eleven years later the mother of my twelve children died. I mar-
ried again, and have lived with my second wife nearly sixteen
years.

Prosperity in earthly affairs has fairly attended my efforts. I
have received my full share of joy and sorrow, and while I review
the past it is with swelling gratitude, the bright side of God's love
fully to the front. While I recall the faces of those dear neigh-

bors and friends of my youth, I seem to see them face to face in
memory as fresh as to-day. It seems that good predominates far
over the evil. With thanksgiving and gratitude my heart flows
full of praise and adoration to the One who has so kindly
bestowed upon me these unspeakable favors of life.

1 would not claim perfection, for the "mistakes of my life
have been many ; " but no vicious sins can be laid at my door,
which affords me much comfort and joy. I have always been
free from the use of liquor, tobacco, and profane language.

"Published to you." " Published to me ?" " You may forbid it
or not just as you please. If you don't want me you must forbid
it." She did not forbid it, although surprised, and their marriage

Thomas White.
" Our brother is with us no more,

God in wisdom has called him away ;
Life's trials and sorrows are o'er,
He has flown to yon regions of day.

"Should we grieve for a mortal thus blessed ?

Should we sigh for a spirit released ?
Our brother hath entered his rest,

Where all is enjoyment and peace.

" Our brother the first to depart
To our Father's blest mansion on high.

Oh, why should we take it to heart ?
E'er long we, too, homeward shall fly.

White. — Ruth White, the daughter of Paine and Susan Robie,
was born at East Andover, N. H., July 10, 1806, and died at
Wells Beach, Me., July 17, 1891, aged 85 years and 7 days.
She was converted when young, was baptized by Rev. Elijah
Watson, and united with the Free Baptist church at East Ando-
ver, of which she remained a worthy member until death. She
was married to John Follensbee of Hill, N. H., March 13, 1836,
by Rev. E. Watson. She was left a widow with two little girls to
care for, July 7, 1844. Later her two daughters became Chris-

died at the age of fourteen years. In the fall of 1853 she was
married to Aaron White of Cornish, N. H. He died in April,
1880. After this, until her death, she made her home with her
daughter, the wife of Rev. H. B. Huntoon. Sister White was
one of the true and tried ones, and as long as her health would
permit she was found at the house of God, and was ready for
every good word and work. During the last few weeks of life
she was a great sufferer, and for a time was helpless. Her trust
in God was firm until the end. During her sickness all was done
that willing hands could do for her comfort. It can be truly
said of her, ' ' Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord : Yea,
saith the Spirit, for they do rest from their labors and their works
do follow them." She was buried from the Congregational
church in East Andover, July 18. Funeral services were con-
ducted by Revs. Lewis (Cong.) and Hall (Free Baptist).

Enoch White came from Bolton, Mass., to Marlborough, N. H.,
June, 1797, having been appointed guardian of his brother Rob-
ert, who was insane. Robert had previously purchased the farm
now owned by Kilburn Southwick, and commenced to erect new
buildings. Enoch occupied the farm until 1833, when he sold to
his son Samuel. Enoch White was one of the first to volunteer
when Washington needed aid, enlisting in the service of the Rev-
olutionary War, from Bolton, Mass. Following is a copy from
an old book which belonged to his father, Samuel White, pur-
chased by him in 1764 :

POSTERITY OF THOMAS WHITE. 107

Mrs. Harriet (Wade) White d. July 18, 1880. Mr. White
now resides with his son Daniel in Bolton, Mass. The following
was taken from a Boston paper : —

Mr. White, now 91 years old, walks to Clinton and back fre-
quently, and walks briskly, too. He shows the good old Puri-
tanical stock from which he came, for he is of the fifth genera-
tion from Peregrine White, the first white child born in this
country, who first saw the light on board the Mayflower in
Provincetown harbor.

Mr. White is of medium height, thick set, elastic in his move-
ments, a powerful man even to-day, with a bright blue eye,
healthy complexion ; rich, heavy voice, and mentally as brisk as
ever.

He wears side whiskers of diminutive proportions, which are
white, and with his white, silky hair, give him a distinguished
appearance.

He is in conversation highly entertaining, loves a joke and can
make impromptu witticisms with marked frequency. As he is
interesting in conversation, he can best tell his story.

"I was born," he said, "in Marlborough, N. H., December 23,
1803 ; lived there until '49, working on my father's farm most of
the time ; was married May 23, 1833, and have two children,
Daniel, who is a merchant in Clinton, and Charles H., who lives
at Somerville Highlands.

"From Marlborough I went to Fitchburg; was there a year
working in a mattress factory, then worked in Clinton as a
laborer for four years, then worked three years in Nashua in a
door shop. Lived in Orange four years ; Baldwinville, where I
did jobbing ; back to Fitchburg, there fourteen years in mattress
factory and railroad shop ; then came to Bolton, and have been
here fourteen years taking care of Dan's farm; but we don't do
much farming, only cut a little hay. It is cheaper to buy than it
is to fight potato bugs.

"I find it troubles me to walk, and when I can't get around,
when I get to be a burden, I want to get away, to be put away.
Both of my boys are musicians, but there is not a bit of music in
me, although I sing some in the woods to the squirrels and birds.

108 WHITE FAMILY.

I never was what you might call sick, that is, not within my
remembrance.

"My life has been an uneventful one. In politics I was an
Andrew Jackson man to the backbone, and wish we had such a
man in this country to-day. I cast my first vote for John Qnincy
Adams the second time he was nominated. If we could have
Jackson back I would put in half a bushel of votes for him if I
could.

" This country never had but two presidents who had the
three necessary qualifications for presidents. Do you know that?
The qualities are good statesman, good financier, good military
man. Those presidents were Washington and Jackson. Lincoln
had the first two, but he had no more idea of military than a set-
ting hen. Grant was good in his place, but others might have
done as well had they had the chance.

" I threw my last vote in a presidential election for Grant.
After that I got disgusted with the whole political situation.
There is too much buttonholing for votes, too much begging for
votes, too much running around for effect. I want the office to
seek the man.

"I was a member of the Marlborough, N. H., light infantry
seven years, first as a private, then bass drummer, next fourth
sergeant, finally captain. The militia was better in drill and
readiness for service in those days than at the present time in my
opinion. I delighted in the military. I may be a little egotisti-
cal, but I think that in those days I could do that matter consid-
erably brown.

' ' I have many letters of inquiries from all over the country
about Peregrine White and my branch of the family, which keeps
me quite busy replying to them. I can trace my ancestry to
Bishop John White of England, who was the grandfather of the
original Peregrine White.

' ' Peregrine had a brother named Resolved, who was so named
in honor of the resolutions reached by the Whites to embark for
this country. I have a grandson, Peregrine, in Berlin, who is the
station agent there, another in the same town, Christopher S.,
who is postmaster.

"My long life and vigorous health I attribute to three things.

POSTERITY OF THOMAS WHITE. 109

I never used liquor or tobacco and always paid my printer in
advance."

Mr. White has written much for the Boston papers in the past,
contributing both prose and poetry, and has written in blank
verse a pamphlet entitled " Reminiscences of the White Family,"
and is now engaged in preparing a part of a coming history of the
family.

The readiness with which Mr. White recalls names, dates, and
events is really remarkable.

He uses glasses only when reading, is up in the morning with
the lark, can do a heavy day's work without fatigue, has a vigor-
ous mentality and in the retention of his faculties, with his preser-
vation of physical force, is indeed a remarkable man.

Obituary. — Another of our old settlers has gone to his long
home. Willard Converse is no more. Like a full ripe shock of
corn he has been gathered to his fathers. Willard Converse was
born May 27, 1811, in Marlborough, N. H. In 1848 he moved
to Rock Prairie, Wis., four miles from Janesville. He came to
Iowa in 1856, settling in Winnesheik county on the border of
Howard. Here in 1884 his wife passed before him to the better
land. Since that time he has made his home with his children —
Mrs. William Blackburn and S. A. Converse — where his presence
was always a benediction and a blessing. Another daughter, the

110 WHITE FAMILY.

oldest of the family, resides in Worcester, Mass. Four children
who grew to manhood and womanhood preceded him to the spirit
world. Willard Converse was no ordinary man. Strong in those
principles which have made New England such a power in these
United States, he has endeavored always to live true to them in
the new West where his lot was cast. As a Christian he realized
that the spirit was more than the letter and the life than any
creed. Old age did not with him, as with too many, bring a
jaundiced eye and a soured disposition. He was of those " whose
thoughts are widened with the process of the times." Sound in
wisdom, gentle in manner, and kind in disposition his counsel
was often sought by those in need of guidance and help. Such a
man is sure to be missed, but he cannot be forgotten. Such lives
never die.

"He being dead yet speaketh,

He sets as sets the morning star,

Which goes not down behind the darkened west,

But melts away into the lights of Heaven."

"Death Loves a Shining Mark."

Death holds a claim on mortal man,
Youth may be called ; Age must obey ;

Man's life at best is but a span,
Too soon, alas ! it fades away.

Too soon the cruel spoiler came,

Too soon death took him from your side ;

Too soon has ended life's bright flame,
Too soon this lad of promise died.

Too soon the tears of grief must flow,

Too soon the parting hour has come,
Too soon, too soon, dear friends, you know,

Too soon the summons came, "Come home."

Too soon, dear parents, ah ! too soon,
Death called him to the upper sphere ;

His life work done before its noon,
He was too pure to linger here.

Too soon, dear brothers, ah ! too soon,
Your dear companion's call was given ;

To you his friendship, life's best boon,
Has ended in the joys of heaven.

Too soon, dear sisters (blessed name,)
Too soon your hearts with sorrow riven ;

Too soon we part ; we'll meet again
Where parting hands are never given.

Too soon, dear friends and neighbors all,

This lovely youth has gone to rest,
Ere life's bright dawn with nature's call

Had ope'd the bud love's hand had pressed.

Too soon, too soon the summons came,
Too soon death took a parents' pride,
Too soon has closed life's flickering flame,
Too soon this darling boy has died.

Following is a programme of a concert given by Daniel A.
White and family : —

One of the most interesting and satisfactory musical entertain-
ments which was ever offered in this town came off in Bigelow
Hall last Monday evening. The night was stormy, but the hall
was some two-thirds filled, the occasion being the concert by
Daniel A. White's family of Bolton, formerly of this town. The
amateur quintette comprised Mr. White, violin ; Mrs. White,
piano; Master Chris. (15), cornet ; Miss Lelia (13), French horn,
and Master Charlie (10), 'cello. The concert commenced with
" Centennial March " (by E. H. Bailey) by the quintette. This was
followed by the song, "Dreaming of Mother," Master Charlie taking
the solo. Operatic selections. Vocal selections, in which, after
a prelude, little Daisy (5 years) appeared on the platform and
gave in a very clear voice the solo, " Come Where the Wild Flowers
Bloom," the others giving the refrain. Very hearty applause fol-
lowed this part, but the little vocalist was too much overcome by
her feelings to respond. Next came a potpourri of popular mel-
odies with solos from horn and cornet, the first part of the pro-
gramme concluding with " The Lord is My Shepherd," rendered
in an admirable manner by the quintette. Part two opened with
a concert medley, commencing with Plezel's quartette with violins,
succeeded by a waltz by the quintette ; it concluded with operatic
selections from Ermini, upon commencing which Charlie took the
baritone, Lelia exchanged the horn for the E flat tenor, and
Chris, and his father held B flat cornets, — the rendering of the
entire medley evincing much skill on the part of the youthful per-
formers. Then followed " Grandfather's Old Arm Chair," Miss
Lelia giving the solo, andante, and polka by the quintette. Trio,
"Crows in the Cornfield, — representing a movement by crows
(with good caws) upon a field, and the wounding of the young
crow who would not listen to advice, and in answer to "Why
not?" was shot. The concluding selection was from " Robert le
Diable," in three parts, brilliantly executed. The amateurs won
hearty applause from the audience, and deserve much credit for

JAMES TANNER.

Mr. James Tanner, widely known as "Corporal" Tanner, was
born at Richmondville, Schoharie county, N. Y., April 4, 1844.
His early life was spent on a farm, and his educational privileges
were those of the district school. While a mere boy he taught in
an adjoining district, manifesting the thoroughness and force of
will that have since characterized him, and proving to anxious
friends that he was fully competent for the work. After a few
months' experience as teacher, at the outbreak of the war,
although not yet eighteen, he enlisted as private in Company C,
87th New York Volunteers. He was soon made corporal, with
assurance of further promotion, had not a terrible disaster befallen
him. His regiment was hurried to the front, and, with Kearney's
Division, participated in the Peninsular campaign, and the battles
of Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, the siege of Yorktown, the seven
days' fight before Richmond, and at Malvern Hill.

After leaving the Peninsula, the 87th fought at Warrenton,
Bristow Station, and Manassas Junction.

Corporal Tanner served with his regiment through all the
engagements, until wounded at the second battle of Bull Run.
There the 87th held the extreme right of our line, with Stonewall
Jackson's corps in front. During a terrific shelling from the
enemy, the men were lying down, when a fragment from a burst-
ing shell completely severed the corporal's right leg at the ankle,
and shattered the left so badly as to make amputation necessary.

Carried from the field, he lost consciousness, and on recovering,
found that the surgeons had amputated both legs, four inches
below the knee. Meanwhile the Union lines had been broken and
the army was in full retreat. The corporal's comrades were
forced to leave him at a farm house, where the rebel army, in

close pursuit, soon made him prisoner with the other wounded.
Paroled after ten days, he was taken to Fairfax Seminary Hospi-
tal ; then commenced his long struggle for life, with all the odds
against him — but a good constitution and a determination to live,
brought him through the long, doubtful days. Through all his
sufferings his courage never left him, and when he began to im-
prove, his first thought was, "What can I do, thus crippled, to
hold my place among men ? " His manhood and ambition could
not brook the thought that he must take an inferior place because
of his misfortune. After treatment in the hospital, and recuper-
ation at his old home in Schoharie county, he was able to walk
about on artificial limbs. He was appointed deputy-doorkeeper
in the assembly, and subsequently held various positions under
the legislature, which he filled with great credit. He then
accepted a clerkship in the War Department, under Secretary
Stanton. On the night of President Lincoln's assassination he
was employed to take notes of the first official evidence, and then
stood by the bed of the dying President. In 1866 he returned to
Schoharie county, and studied law with Judge William C. Lamont.
The same year he married a daughter of Alfred C. White, of
Jefferson, N. Y., and they now have four beautiful children, two
daughters and two sons. He was admitted to the bar in 1869.
Soon after, he was appointed to a place in the New York Custom
House, and removed to Brooklyn. On competitive examination
he rose to the position of deputy collector, and served four years
under Gen. Chester A. Arthur. He was the Republican nominee
for assembly in 1871, in the Fourth Kings County District, but
was counted out in the election frauds of that year. Nominated
for register by the Republicans in 1876, when the Democratic
county majority was nineteen thousand, he was defeated by less
than two thousand.

Connected with the Grand Army of the Republic since its early
days, no man is better known to enjoy the esteem and confidence
of his comrades in greater degree than Corporal Tanner. They
know him to be a trustworthy leader, a man of sound judgment,
ripe experience, and true heart. It was but natural, therefore,
that in 1876 they elected him Commander of the Grand Army in
the Department of New York. He assumed command at a time

118 WHITE FAMILY.

when discouragement and disappointment pervaded the organiza-
tion, growing out of the neglect of the State of New York to pro-
vide for her helpless and homeless disabled veterans. Public
sentiment was not yet aroused. Appeals had been made to pri-
vate charity and also to the legislature, but in vain. Repeated
failures had engendered prejudice and opposition to the project.
The outlook was discouraging, the task herculean, to combat
apathy, and rouse dormant public opinion. The veterans them-
selves, stung by the ingratitude of those for whom they had suf-
fered, began to despair. At this juncture Commander Tanner
threw himself heart and soul into the work, a born leader, thor-
oughly qualified. Having been a sufferer, he felt the sufferings
of others ; intellectually 'a giant, he set forth in glowing words
the veterans' needs, the debt of gratitude due from the state to
her maimed defenders, and the shame of degrading them to the
condition of alms-house paupers. Calling to his assistance that
true patriot, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, the good work was
inaugurated by a mass meeting in Brooklyn, when $13,000 were
subscribed. Mr. Tanner traversed the state from end to end,
making appeals, public and private, to the people. Undaunted
by obstacles, he fired the heai-ts of patriotic and benevolent men,
so that at last a flood of petitions poured in upon the legislature,
and tardy justice was meted out. The magnificent " Soldiers'
Home " was erected at Bath, Steuben county, where six hundred
disabled, homeless veterans can find the repose and comforts of a
home; truly a " monument, more durable than bronze," to Com-
mander Tanner for his zealous efforts and self-sacrificing labors
in behalf of justice and charity.

Perhaps to no one are the soldiers more indebted for assistance
in pension matters than to Mr. Tanner. No man has done more
to assist in securing just pension legislation than he. Not only
in personal interviews with members of Congress, but as a mem-
ber of the committee appointed by the National Encampment of
the G. A. R., he has been untiring in his efforts. Repeatedly has
he appeared before committees of the Senate and the House of

fish and untiring efforts of the subject of this sketch in their
behalf. For his trips to Washington, and for the strength and
time employed, he has received no remuneration, meeting the
expenses out of his own private purse. His interest in ex-soldiers
is not a sordid sentiment, as is proved by the records of his
office. For the past seven years that he has held the position of
tax collector of the city of Brooklyn, there has been paid to ex-
soldiers in his office, in their salaries, the modest sum of nearly
one hundred thousand dollars. These men received their appoint-
ment from Mr. Tanner, and but illustrate the abiding interest he
feels for all old veterns ; and the constant application made to
him by needy soldiers for assistance in securing employment is
the living proof of the faith of his comrades in his unswerving
interest in their welfare.

A man with positive convictions, with also the courage of his
convictions, he is nevertheless broad and charitable toward his
foes. A life-long sufferer, because of wounds received in the
war, he has nevertheless proved to be the inspiration of help to
thousands who fought on the other side. While on a visit to
Richmond, Va., some months ago, in conversation with several
ex-Confederate soldiers, mention was made of the suffering condi-
tion of the maimed and disabled ones of the South. Their home-
less and needy condition was contrasted with the condition of
federal soldiers in the North. The government could not, in jus-
tice, provide for them. Mr. Tanner suggested that the citizens
take the matter in hand, build and equip a home, and then ask
the state to care for it. Upon his suggestion the work was under-
taken by philanthropic men in Richmond.

To assist them in their work, appeals were made to the old sol-
diers of the North. In Brooklyn, under direction of Mr. Tanner,
a meeting was held in the Academy of Music, on the 6th of May
last, addressed by Reverends Henry Ward Beecher and I. M.
Foster, at which $1,600 was realized to assist in the erection of
the home. The suggestion thus made in the interest of the old
foes of the past, has resulted in securing $25,000, with a pros-
pect of as much more, with which to provide home comforts for
needy Confederates. And this fact is recognized and appreciated

120 WHITE FAMILY.

by the men of the South, that the inspiration of this humane
enterprise found its birth in the heart of James Tanner.

Upon the inauguratiou of the work in Richmond, he was made
one of the trustees, but declined the honor ; at the same time
assuring the friends of the enterprise that in the knowledge that
some crippled, homeless soldier was provided with the comforts
of life, he would find the greatest satisfaction.

In November, 1877, Mr. Tanner was appointed collector of
taxes for the city of Brooklyn, which office he held for eight
years, through Democratic and Republican administrations alike,
with universal acceptance. He instituted many reforms in the
office, reducing expenses one half, and extending greater facili-
ties to the tax-payers. The most perfect system prevails, and a
saving to the city of a large amount has been effected.

He possesses the confidence of the Republican voters of all
classes, and his election to the chair of the Republican General
Committee of Brooklyn resulted in harmony and good feeling.

He was appointed commissioner of pensions by Benjamin Har-
rison, but owing to what was deemed his too great liberality to,
and too ready sympathy for, his comrades in arms, was asked to
resign after five months' service. He then opened an office in
Washington for the prosecution of pension claims. In January,
1894, his sufferings became so severe that he was forced to sub-
mit to a re-amputation of both legs.

As a public speaker he has few superiors, being eloquent, logi-
cal, and witty. In debate he is always self-possessed and meets
opponents boldly, having the "courage of his convictions."
Genial, social manners make him a favorite among a large circle
of acquaintances, while his talents and sterling' manhood are
esteemed universally.

By nature he is a positive, outspoken man, obedient to his con-
victions of right without regard to expediency or popularity ; such
a man is sure in the end to have the confidence, respect, and sup-
port of his fellows. With an abiding faith in the final triumph of
the right in all questions, he has learned to labor and to wait.
Being yet a young man, there is doubtless a brilliant future
before him, if his life and health are spared.

Alfred S. White, son of Benjamin and Roxanna (Andrews)

POSTERITY OF THOMAS WHITE. 121

White, was born in Hoosick, Rennselaei county, N. Y., March 7,
1809. When four years of age he came with his parents to the
town of Jefferson, Schoharie county, N. Y., and settled upon the
farm now owned and occupied by his only surviving son, George
C. White. Here he spent about eighty years of his life ; his
death, however, occurred in the town of Richmond ville, N. Y.,
at the residence of his son George (who temporarily resided in
that village) on the 29th of September, 1892.

Mr. White was proverbially known by his townspeople as an
honest man, and he possessed in the highest degree a sense of
honor and justice. His kindness and charity to his fellow-beings,
especially to those in unfortunate circumstances, is well remem-
bered. At different times he held the offices of supervisor and
school commissioner of his town, but from distaste for public life
he refused to accept further honors. His father, Benjamin, was
generally known as "Schoolmaster White," he having taught
common schools for thirty consecutive years, thus leaving the
care of the farm and family upon the boy Alfred at a very early
age. At this date, April 12, 1895, Alfred White's widow, Julia
A. (Snyder), is still living, being in fairly good health and nearly
82 years of age. Only two of their five children lived to mature
life, three having died in childhood; Meroah L. (Tanner), born
in 1844, and living in Washington, D. C, and George C, the
writer of this sketch, occupies the old homestead, and who will
always remember with love and tenderness the kind and self-
sacrificing father, who was ever ready to help to a better life his
son, his family, and his neighbors. For many years a member of
and a pillar in the M. E. church, he died in the faith and now
rests with the saints from his weary toils in this world.

"This stone is erected by her surviving connextions to perpetuate
the memory of Hannah White, daughter of Gideon and Joanna
White, who died January 3, 1841, aged 93 years. Her long pil-
grimage on earth was ennobled by the practice of the duties of
Christianity, cheered by its hopes, and sustained by its faith."

Gideon White and Edward Winslow bought land in Plymouth
in 1753 of the former's brother-in-law, Consider Howland,
which, in 1775, was conveyed entirely to him by his father, Cor-
nelius White. We find him administrator of John Lothrop's
estate in 1767. Mr. Gideon White departed this life March 6,
1779, aged 62 years.

Mrs. Joanna White, wife of Captain Gideon White, died Sep-
tember 23, 1810, in the 95th year of her age. She was inti-
mately acquainted in the family of Elder Faunce, receiving many
interesting particulars from him in i elation to the Pilgrims, which

Benjamin White d. in Hanover, February 10, 1786, aged 65

years. His widow d. March 22, 1814, aged 94 years. It is said
that Benjamin fell in love with Miss Hannah Decrow, who was a
young lady of powerful build and great beauty, but who was not
considered good enough for the son of an opulent shipbuilder and
ferryman. This young Ben appears to have been a favorite with
his father, and was threatened with banishment if he persisted in
his attentions to Miss Decrow. The young man married her,
and it is said that, true to his word, his father banished him to
Hanover. This was about 1743, when Mr. White, Sr., pur-
chased of Jeremiah and Walter Hatch many hundred acres of
heavy timber land on what is now Centre street, the old habita-
tion being on the spot now owned by Frank Fish. Mr. White, Sr.,
gave him this valuable tract of territory, started him in house-
keeping in great style for those days, and gave him also a horse,
two cows, a yoke of oxen, and a gundalow, which he kept at
North river bridge. Mrs. White was a resolute, God-fearing
woman, and, in opposition to her more worldly companion, she
was bound to have her children baptized in the true faith, as we
find by the church records of Rev. Benjamin Bass, dated Septem-
ber 7, 1754, — "Were baptized four children of Benjamin White
(his wife owning the covenant), Penniah, Robert, Hannah, and
Benjamin (the father's name) who was not considered in the
baptism of the children."

This letter is written for the information of James Robbins and

My dear relatives. — With pleasure I take my pen in hand to
inform you that I and my small family are well, through the
divine goodness of Providence. It is hopeful that you are enjoy-,
ing the same blessing. Dear friends, I feel thankful for the
favors that have been heretofore and are now being bestowed on
me by the hand of the Giver of all good ; that I am enabled at
my advanced age to write you and in a small degree have the
command of my mental powers of mind. Perhaps this may be
the last time that I shall be enabled to do so, for I am sensible
that my glass of life is most run. Dear nephew and niece : My
age and infirmities have of late detained me in retirement. A
spark of joy seems to be kindled in my heart as I turn to give a
glance over the past. I thought I could see nothing which would
dim the path of my last days, more especially when I behold the
promising flock of children, grand-children, and great grand-chil-
dren. Infirmities of old age wish for the reflection of a well-
spent life, which would be a great comfort to me in the last days
of my pilgrimage, if I for myself could only think so. The early
impressions of my childhood come stealing back to me through the
long list of years that are past. My memory is very good in
matters that are favorable to me, but those which are not I wish
to forget. In looking back to our forefathers, the Pilgrims that
first came over to this country, I find by the old history that we,
Sally, sprung from the Whites, Mussys, Buckminsters, and
Reeds, which are the blood of four nations, — the Whites
from England, Mussys from France, Buckminsters from Scotland,
and the Reeds from Denmark. All of them had a different turn
of mind from each other. I perceived my brothers and sisters are

POSTERITY OF CORNELIUS WHITE. 129

not alike. One seems to be of the White, another Mussy, another
Buckminster, and so on. I have observed that in my children, to
the third generation, the White blood is to take care of one, the
Mussy inclined to please, the Buckminster steady and firm, and
the Reeds to use every one alike. I don't wish to weary you in
reading my scribbling, and so I will close and turn my mind to
something more interesting to you, that is a visit from you this
season would be very pleasing to me and my relatives, if you can
make it convenient ; if not write to me something about your
family, also my brother Thomas and his sons and daughters, like-
wise my sister Mason and her family, for I wish to hear from
them all. This letter is from your uncle Thaddeus, dated at
Washington, Vt., on the 16th day of July, 1846, it being my
birthday which makes me 87 years of age. My time in this
world is short, my head must soon be laid upon the pillow of
death. Oh, may I be through grace prepared to meet my dissolu-
tion with becoming resignation to the Divine Will. My sincere
desire is that we may all become harmless as a little child and be
enabled to proclaim the light, the true light that lighteth every
man and woman that is born into the world, and be made heir of
Righteousness and joint heir with Jesus Christ, our Lord.

From your uncle,

Thaddeus White.

lines, written by his sweetheart, Elizabeth Magoun ; also the
traditional sequel of the shooting : —

In Memory of

Lewis White,

Who was accidentally shot, April 3d, 1813,

Aged 31 years.

How can my trembling hands support my pen,
While sorrow mourns the loveliest, best of men.
The tear shall flow, can genuine sorrow sleep ?
Know certainly in streams our eyes shall weep.

He 's gone, forever gone ; Lewis has taken flight
To yonder world of joy, of peace, and light.
Gone to behold his Saviour and his God ;
O may we tread the path that he has trod.

Elizabeth Magotjn.

Mr. White was shot in the cellar of the house now occupied by
Mr. Morrill A. Phillips, in South Hanover. After digging the
cellar, the workmen, as was customary in those days, indulged in
some sports, wrestling, shooting, etc. A man named Makepeace
threw up a hat. As it came down, when directly in a line with
White's head, Lieut. Enos Bates fired, killing him instantly. Mr.
Bates, chilled at the sight, was assisted to his home, where he
lingered until the following February, when he died. The story
is told that he was never warm again, cold even in the noonday
sun of summer.

Benjamin White d. September 8, 1783, aged 58 years and 7

months.

Benjamin White was never a robust man, but was both active
and useful during the Revolutionary period. He lived in times
which tried men's and women's souls. He was weighed in the bal-
ance of rectitude, and, his descendants can thank God, was not
found wanting. Marshfield was the centre of loyalists, number-
ing three hundred persons. It was not easy or pleasant then to
prove true to the inherited principles of "Individual Rights"
taught and subscribed to in the cabin of the little Pilgrim vessel.
They found themselves obliged to do as their foreparents had
done before them, take their lives and fortunes in their hands,
going boldly forward, leaving the issue to the All Father.

Mr. Benjamin White represented the town of Marshfield in the
Provincial Congress held at Watertown, May 31, 1774. John
Hancock was chosen president, and they dared in that assembly
of 240 to declare Gen. Thomas Gage "An inveterate enemy of
the country, disqualified to serve the colony as governor, and
unworthy of obedience." June 12, Gen. Gage issued his procla-
mation offering pardon to all "the rebels, excepting Samuel
Adams and John Hancock, whose offences are of too flagatious a
nature to admit of any other consideration than that of condign
punishment," and martial law was established. He was one of
the "Committee of Correspondence," and acted as town clerk
when Nehemiah Thomas, the legal clerk, was absent at provin-
cial assemblies of those times. In December, 1774, "Gen. Bal-
four, with his fine Queen's Guards," at the urgent invitation of
the Marshfield loyalists, took up his quarters in town, and British
vessels were lying in the bay "to protect them," as they said,
"from their rebel neighbors." Then the "rebels" feared that
the town's supply of powder was in danger, and Benjamin White,
with some of his neighbors, took ox-carts and at midnight went
to Capt. William Thomas's, where the powder was stored, loaded
it carefully into the cart and carried it with great care and cau-
tion to his barn, and even storing some under the bed in the

spare room. Benjamin AVhite was one of the committee to collect
the tea after it was voted not to use it, and it was stored in
Nehemiah Thomas's house. He did not feel satisfied with this, it
looked as if saved for future use. When the Whigs of the vicinity,
in the ardor of their patriotism, seized this tea, carrying it into a
field near by, where there was a large rock which was " flat on ye
top," poured the tea thereon, when Benjamin White and his
brother-in-law, Jeremiah Low, two staunch old AVhigs, God bless
them ! applied the torch with much rejoicing. This was known
ever afterwards as "Tea Rock." Mr. White lived to see his
beloved country free, to know that " Independence" had not only
been declared but achieved, when he was called up higher. He
died of consumption, September 8, 1783, aged 58 years, 7 months.
His wife, Mrs. Mercy Thomas White, was a worthy descendant
of Gov. William Bradford, who was rightly named the "Father
of the Colony." Mrs. White was a true, good woman, and true
helpmeet. She survived her husband until May 27, 1803, and
died, aged 83 years.

Mr. White was a tanner by trade, carrying on the business
with his brother, Luther White. Grand jurymen at that time
were chosen by ballot vote of the town. He received the unani-
mous vote of the town for twenty years, and although re-elected,
declined further service. Marshfield's "honored historian" says
of him: "He was a gentleman much beloved and respected."
The following is inscribed on his gravestone :

"To the memory of Mr. Benjamin White, who died August 7,
1819, in the 70th year of his age.

" Time cannot wash from grateful memories' view
A friend so kind, so constant, and so true."

His widow survived until March, 1836.

Mr. Luther White was a shoemaker by trade, and also owned the
tanyard with his brother Benjamin. After his marriage he lived
with his mother in the Thomas house a few rods southeast of
the present house where their eldest son Benjamin was born,
April 3, 1790. In 1800 Luther White carted his lumber to a saw
mill near Henry Whiting's (Reuben Delano place) to be sawed for
his new house. It was commenced and raised August, 1801,
finished and ready to occupy that fall. Their youngest son,
Thomas Foster, was born in the east room, February 10, 1802,
where he died, April 2, 1887, aged 85 years, 1 month, and 22
days. A few weeks after his birth his cousin, Thomas Foster,
paid him a visit, and being childless, asked to bestow his name
upon the new babe, and was allowed to do so. The west cham-
ber was finished for a shoe shop. The bench which he used still
remains in the house. His death, which occurred October 27,
1818, aged 60 years, was a great and irreparable loss to his
family. His widow, Mrs. Mary (Deleno) White, d. March 3,
1831, aged 67 years.

Philip Deleno, father of Mary (Deleno) White, was admitted a
freeman, January 1, 1632, and early removed to Duxbury, where
he settled a little northwest of Alden's on the north side of Mill
brook. His farm was confirmed to him in 1637, extending from

the marsh on the northern part of the town, to Alden's on the
south ; from Bumpus's land on the west to the sea on the east,
comprising about forty acres. He was a man of much respecta-
bility, was employed in surveying lands, and was often one of the
grand inquest of the colony, vide General Register. Two of his
great grand-children, Joseph, 3d, and his brother Zebediah, were
employed on a fishing schooner belonging to Elijah Sampson of
Duxbury. It was taken in the early part of the Revolutionary
War, and burned by the enemy off the beach within sight of the
town. The schooner was commanded by Capt. Lewis Drew, and
manned by Ezra Howard, Joseph Deleno, Zebediah Deleno, Abi-
atha Alden, and Zadoc Bradford. They were all taken to New
York and put on board the Jersey prison ship, where they all died
excepting Alden and Bradford, who returned with the sad news.
Another brother, Jesse, enlisted when sixteen years of age in the
Revolution, serving through the war with much suffering. When
he was discharged he was paid in Continental money. As an
illustration of its depreciated value, on the way home he paid $40
for a breakfast.

"Mr. Thomas F. White of Marshfield. passed his eighty-
second birthday February 10, 1884, which was the occasion of
the gathering of twenty-five children and grandchildren to listen
to the interesting story of the past, and take heart for the future.
It was a meeting long to be remembered. The mother was a

POSTERITY OF BENJAMIN WHITE. 151

native of Plymouth, and a sister of Mr. John Clark now living in
Plymouth, aged eighty-four. A sister, Miss Rebecca Clark, now
presides over the household at Marshfield, with all the care and
economy which gave dignity and lustre to the Pilgrim names.
After the bountiful repast, fertile wit, which largely included the
moral sentiment, music by the grandchildren, and the reading of
an original retrospective paper by Mrs. Bosworth of Pembroke,
one of the children, completed the afternoon."

Mrs. Hannah (Clark) White d. in Marshfield, July 22, 1876,
aged 72 years, 7 months, greatly lamented by husband, children,
relatives, neighbors, and friends. " Her children rise up and call
her blessed, her husband also, and he praiseth her." She has
gone to receive that praise from the Master, none which can be
greater. "She hath done what she could." And she did much.
Silver and gold she had little to give, but such as she had, an
ever helping hand in sickness and trouble, a cheerful, kind word
to all her associates, was ever ready to be given when needed.
As many little springs, tiny in themselves, form together finally
in one grand body of, water to bless those around it, so her quiet
words, her "line upon line, precept upon precept," comes back
to her children and children's children with a new force and
meaning as time wears on. Thank God that we are her children,
and bless Him for the great gift of her life, the memory of which
we will keep green and fragrant in our lives.

Thomas Foster White died suddenly, April 2, 1887, in the room
in which he was born 85 years, 1 month, and 22 days before.
He was a man of strict integrity, one of whom it could be said,
"His word was as good as his bond." He had a kind, loving
heart, and we never fully realized the loss of our mother until we
must add to it the bitter words "Father is dead." Only those
who have been blessed with good parents know the length,
breadth, and height of "Mother is dead! Father is dead!"
"He gave, He took, He will restore. He doeth all things well,
is our hope and balm."

1889, in his thirty-eighth year.

That is one of the sad stories in our family history. A father
and mother so useful, so much needed, taken, and three orphan
children left to the care of the grief broken maternal grand-
parents. Their trust was in the Good Father, but it was hard to
leave when the hands, heart, and head were so much needed.
God bless those who are left.

Philip, Jr., was thrown from a horse and killed, at the age of
nineteen.

Philip, Sr., removed from Woodstock, Conn., to Tinmouth, Vt.,
about 1780, where he bought a farm situated in the eastern edge
of the township. In 1793 a strip of land in the eastern part of
Tinmouth was set off to the town of Wallingford, so that, after

166 WHITE FAMILY.

1793, Philip White was a resident of WaJlingford, Vt., without
changing his place of residence. It is handed down that Philip
had several brothers who emigrated to Kentucky about the time
Philip came to Vermont. His mother-in-law, Susanna Campbell,
married for a second husband a man by the name of Carpenter, —
probably grandfather of the Dr. Carpenter who was for twenty
years President of the Vermont Medical School, Burlington, Vt.
Her name is in " Thompson's History of Vermont" as one of the
few instances of longevity in the Green Mountain State. She
died in February, 1817, at the age of 100 years and 6 months.
Four months before this she attended the funeral of her grandson,
Nehemiah White.

Philip White was in the service in the Revolution. The gun
which he carried, manufactured in 1742, or about that time, in
London, is now in the possession of his great-grandson, Nehe-
miah White, of Galesburg, 111. The gun was also carried by
Philip in the " Old French War." He died October, 1822, aged
88 years. The anecdote is told, that probably in 1775, when,
after the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill, thousands
flocked to Boston and placed the city under siege, Philip went into
service, the work at home being left in charge of his daughter,
Lois, a strong and resolute girl of eighteen or nineteen. While
milking a fractious cow, the cow wheeled around and, running
one of her long and pointed horns under the large roll of hair on
Lois's head, actually swung her clear around, perhaps more than
once. She used to say this was the worst case of " hair-pulling"
she ever experienced.

Philip White resided for many years in a part of the house with
his son Nehemiah, when he was at one time visited by his grand-
nephew, Rev. Nicholas White, who was a Methodist preacher.
Philip was an ardent Calvinist in theological belief. When the
time for family devotions came Philip objected to the proposal of
Nicholas to offer prayer, saying (alluding to the ardent devotions
of the early Methodists): "Too fiery, Nicholas, too fiery."
Whereupon the young preacher went into the part of the house
occupied by Nehemiah and held worship there. This, indeed,
serves to show how far the gulf between the different denomina-
tions of Christians has been filled since then.

The following is copied from the Christian Advocate of June 6,
1861:—

Rev. Nicholas White was born in Middletown, Rutland county,
Vermont, June 8, 1786, and died in the city of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
February 14, 1861. He sought the Lord in early life, and be-
came a member of the M. E. church in 1810 ; was licensed to
exhort in 1811 ; was received on trial in the New York Confer-
ence in 1813, and appointed to the Plattsburg circuit, and con-
tinued there in 1814. In 1815 he was ordained deacon and
appointed to the Charlotte circuit. During this year he was
stricken down with a pulmonary attack. The bleeding from the
lungs was so profuse and obstinate that for months but little hope
was entertained for his recovery. He held the relation of super-
annuate during the years of 1816 and 1817 ; was re-appointed to
the Charlotte circuit in the years 1818 and 1819. In 1820 he
travelled the St. Albans circuit; 1821 and 1822, New Windsor;
1823, Newburgh"; 1824, New Paltz ; 1825, Duchess. In 1826
and 1827 he was stationed in the city of New York; 1828 and
1829, on Mount Pleasant circuit; 1830 and 1831, on Cortlandt ;
1832, Reading; 1833, Saugatuck ; and in 1833 on Duchess
again. From 1835 to 1838, inclusive, he was presiding elder on
the Delaware district, and in 1839 was presiding elder on the
White Plains district, and from 1840 to 1843, inclusive, was pre-
siding elder on the Poughkeepsie district. During the years
1844 and 1845 he was at the Asbury charge in New York; 1846
and 1847, at the Eighteenth street charge, same city ; 1848 and
1849, at Newtown, L. I. ; 1850 and 1851, at Carlton Avenue, in
the city of Brooklyn, and in 1852 and 1853 was in the Dean
street charge in the same city. While in this charge he buried
his beloved wife, and here he closed his effective labors as an

POSTERITY OF ELEAZAR, SARAH, AND MERCY. 171

itinerant preacher. In 1854 he was again superannuated, and in
this relation was continued until the Master called him home.
He was twice a representative of the New York Conference in the
General Conference.

Brother White was a good man. The writer of this commenced
his special acquaintance with him in May, 1818, as his assistant
on the Charlotte circuit, in Vermont, and was his assistant again
on the St. Albans circuit in 1820 ; has followed him in other
fields of labor, and never yet heard a whisper against his moral
or Christian character, but on the contrary, has uniformly heard
him spoken of as a true disciple, a sincere and devoted follower
of the Meek and Lowly. He was a Methodist from principle,
and heartily subscribed to its doctrines, and consciously con-
formed to its discipline, yet was truly catholic in spirit and prac-
tice, loving, and in every reasonable way manifesting his love to
all who bore the image and superscription of his Divine Master.
As a Methodist preacher he was orthodox, animated, ardent, suc-
cessful, and loyal ; heartily acknowledging the authority of the
General Conference to make rules and regulations for the edifica-
tion and government of the church, — like a true son in the gospel,
he yielded implicit obedience to this authority and cheerfully
kept, without attempting to mend, the rules of the church. He
eschewed all innovations, and heartily deplored any departure
from the old paths of true Wesleyanism in either doctrine, disci-
pline, or usage. He was a warm friend of all our institutions,
and gave a zealous support to all our instrumentalities for doing
good, especially of the good old Christian Advocate and Journal.
He had some agency in the commencement of its publication, and
was wont to wait and watch with intense interest its weekly arri-
val, when its perusal seemed always to furnish him a rich repast.
He was a devoted husband, and ever after the death of his too
nearly idolized wife, seemed never to recover his wonted cheer-
fulness. He is with her now in heaven, thank God, and there
joined in a still purer affection that will know neither chill or
change. He was an affectionate and true father, and has left a
large yet scattered family of children and grand-children, who
deeply mourn their loss, especially his youngest daughter, on
whom was devolved specialty and providentially the duty of car-

ing for and comforting her father in his last lonely years, and
smoothing his rough path to the grave, and softening his dying
pillow ; and never did daughter meet responsibilities with greater
fidelity and cheerfulness. Seldom, if ever, was any preacher bet-
ter fitted to have charge of young preachers, especially such as
lacked self-confidence and needed words of encouragement and
comfort. But he is gone ; his body to the tomb, his soul to
heaven. Friend and guide of my youth, farewell ! We meet no
more on earth ; God grant we may meet in heaven at last.

Conn., who mar., December 16, 1686, Joanna Benton, dau. of
Daniel Benton, one of the signers of the Plantation Covenant at
Guilford, June 1, 1639, and was son of Edward Benton of
Guilford.

Abel Turner was a farmer, having lived nearly all his life upon
the farm he purchased in early manhood, and upon which he died.
He was a man of limited education but of strong judgment, and
was often called upon to serve his town as Supervisor. In poli-
tics, Andrew Jackson was his patron saint. He was fond of his
rifle and the chase. The lakes and streams of the Adirondacks,
when they were an unbroken wilderness, had a fascination for
him that the tourists and pleasure seekers of the present day can
have but a slight conception of. A man of strong physique,
unbounded courage and determination, greatly endeared to his
children, who cherish his memory with an undying affection.

His wife, Mary Turner, was a daughter of Col. Ezra Turner, Jr.,
and grand-daughter of Ezra, Sr., who was a soldier with his
father, Abraham Turner, in Massachusetts regiments in the Rev-
olutionary War. Her mother, Amy Beman, was the daughter of
Nathan Beman, the lad who piloted Ethan Allen into Fort Ticon-
deroga and subsequently served in the Revolutionary War, and
whose father, Samuel Beman, marched with an expedition to
Canada, in 1775, through the woods of Maine to Quebec.

Following is an item which appeared in the Globe of November
10, 1894:

Ancient Mariner. — Capt. Bates of Gloucester is Seventy-Five
Years Old. — Happy Observance of His Birthday by His
Friends and Relatives. — Always a Republican in Politics,
But an Admirer of Ben Butler.

"Capt. James Young Bates, one of the oldest and best known
of Gloucester's many fishermen, is to-day celebrating his seventy-
fifth birthday. All his relatives in that city are calling upon him,
and with them he is quietly and happily passing the day.

" For a period well upon a half century Capt. Bates has made
almost daily a trip to the fishing grounds, and with the advancing
years has still retained all his expertness with the line. Two
years ago the captain met with an accident that very nearly cost
him his life. He was alone in his boat two miles outside F^astern
Point light, when he fell overboard. No one was in sight even,
and he was forced to depend entirely upon his own efforts. He
caught hold of a rope hanging from the boat, pulled himself
around to a convenient place for crawling aboard, and succeeded
in getting into the boat, although the chill November waters
almost froze the marrow in the old seaman's bones. Then he
sailed his boat into port, and until he got ashore he saw no one

188 WHITE FAMILY.

that could lend him aid. Beside a cold he suffered nothing
serious.

" Captain Bates was born in Scituate. His grandfather was the
first keeper of the old Scituate light, and Captain Bates was keeper
when the light was finally extinguished, after Minot's light took
its place.

"The two famous heroines of the War of 1812, Rebecca and
Abby Bates of Scituate, who played the fife and drum when the
British were entering the harbor, and scared them away, were his
aunts.

" The captain is also a direct descendant of Peregrine White, the
first white child born in New England, whose birth occurred on
board the Mayflower in Cape Cod harbor, shortly after the vessel
arrived in 1620. The captain got his middle name from Pere-
grine White's daughter, who married Thomas Young.

"During his whole life Capt. Bates has had remarkably good
health. Until a year ago last March he had not had a sick day
for nearly forty years.

"Last month he made the journey to Boston, and a reunion
was held at the home of his granddaugher, Mrs. Susan L. Holmes,
in Cambridge, at which four generations were present. The com-
pany included a great grandfather, a great grandmother, a grand-
mother and grandfather, mother and father, and a nine months'
old babe.

" He also visited his former home in Scituate and saw some of
his relatives in that old town.

"Capt. Bates followed the sea when a young mau, before he
was keeper of Scituate light, aud when the light was abandoned
he went out to the western frontier and tried that rough life for a
year, when he returned and moved to Gloucester, where he has
since followed fishing.

"He has been twice married. His first wife was Miss Susan
Prouty of Scituate, by whom he had six children, two of whom
are now living, Mrs. Medora Wharff of Boston and Mrs. Susan
Wilson of Gloucester. Mrs. Bates died in 1860, and nine years
later the captain married Mrs. Laura Allen of Rockport. On
December 29 next they will celebrate their silver wedding anni-
versary. The captain has two sisters, older than himself, one of

whom, Mrs. Susan McLoucl of Gloucester, celebrated her eightieth
birthday last April. The other sister is Mrs. Mary H. Smith of
Scituate, who is seventy-nine.

" Capt. Bates has been an ardent Republican since the forma-
tion of the party, and in this fact finds a double enjoyment in
celebrating his birthday so soon after Tuesday's election." The
only Democrat he ever admired was Gen. Benjamin F. Butler.

Simeon McLoud resides in the house his father bought when he
first moved to Gloucester, and his mother, being attached to the
old place, spends most of her time with him.

Following is an account of his mother's 80th birthday anniver-
sary :

Relatives in Attendance from Seventy-Eight Years to the Wee
Baby of One Year. — A Fine Poem Written Exj)ressly for the
Occasion.

On Tuesday, April 10th, 1894, Mrs. Susan McLoud celebrated
her 80th birthday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Chas. H.
Gamage, wife of ex- Alderman Gamage of this city.

About forty relatives were present, and the oldest one was Mrs.
Mary Smith of Scituate, who is 78 years old, and is a sister to
Mrs. McLoud. She came alone and unattended to Gloucester.
The youngest was a grandchild, Jessie Mai McLoud, who is not
yet one year old. The whole affair was a complete surprise to
the old lady, and one long to be remembered by those who were
present. There were relatives from Newburyport, Scituate,
Newton Upper Falls, Salem, Boston, and East Boston.

When the guests were seated at dinner, the following poem was
read by Nettie M. Smith of East Boston, which was composed for
the occasion by Edward I. Thompson of Hyde Park, who is a
friend of Mrs. McLoud :

Four score years is but a dream

Which lives within the mind ;
The light of childhood's earliest beam

Is but a step behind.

The hours which charmed the youthful days

Still blossom in the heart,
The grace of womanhood o'erlays

The joys which ne'er depart.

Remembrance counts the jewels rare

Its rosary of love,
Till through the pathways of the air

Descends life's brooding dove.

192 WHITE FAMILY.

Turn back the dials for a time,

Recall the fleeting past,
Let all the bells of niem'ry chime

Till this sweet hour is past.

Cluster the roses which have shed

Their fragrance on the life,
For love's bouquet is never dead

To Daughter, Mother, Wife.

Then join with them a blossom fair

From off the purest vine,
That love may find a joy more rare

When Heaven and earth combine.

Let youth and age together vie

In paths that each have trod,
To live the life wherein doth lie

The sweetest way to God.

The sunset hour is reached at last,

The evening star grows bright,
Shadows are creeping o'er the past,

The future glows with light.

The dark horizon shades the eyes,

That faith may clearly see
Scenes where the future glory lies

Across the crystal sea.

At a late hour all departed with smiles and happy faces, winn-
ing the old lady prosperity and happiness for years to come, and
hoping to be able to celebrate her 90th birthday in just such a
way.

Mrs. Susan McLoud was born in Scituate in 1814, and was the
daughter of Simeon and Jane Young Bates, and a direct descendant
of Peregrine White. In 1837 she was united in marriage to the
late Capt. John McLoud, residing in Scituate, the place of her
birth, until 1855, when they removed to East Gloucester, at the
old home where she still resides, and which was at that time the
only house on Banner Hill.

She has had ten children, only three of whom are now living —

POSTERITY OF ELEAZAR, SARAH, AND MERCY. 193

Capt. Alex. McLoud, Capt. Simeon McLoud, and Mrs. Charles H.
Gamage.

She is apparently hale and hearty, and goes about as easily as
she did in younger days. She received many prett}' and appro-
priate presents from those who hold her dear, as tokens of their
great love for her. She has what any one can desire and seek for,
a sunny disposition, and it is a rare thing to find her peaceful
frame of mind disturbed.

Eliakim Morse, b. November 22, 1712, d. March 30, 1803, has
been in the family about one hundred and fifty years. The face
of the clock bears the name of the maker, "Peregrine White,
Woodstock." It is a seven day clock, once giving the day of
the month, and has always kept good time. Another clock with
Peregrine's name on the face was owned a short time ago by Dr.
Witherel, Woonsocket, R. I. The works inside are made of
pounded brass, as is shown by the bruises on the brass. It was
a fine clock and kept good time. There are also many other of
his productions carefully preserved, such as silver spoons.

Westboro and Grafton ; also clerk of the town, a position he had
filled continuously for twenty-one years. In the later position
he was most widely known, as he will be long remembered for the
carefulness, integrity, and courtesy with which he filled that office.
Just prior to his death he had declined a re-election to the posi-
tion of librarian of the public library, because of infirm health, an
office he had held from the foundation of the institution. In
every movement for the general prosperity of the town, for the
promotion of moral reform, particularly of temperance, Mr. White
was always prompt, earnest, and fearless. He died quite sud-
denly in the street.

The First WJiite Child. — Brief Sketch oj the Life of George
White, from His Diary.

I was born July 10, 1797, in Rome, Oneida, Co., New York.
At the age of sixteen, my father, Dr. Stephen White, took me to

200 WHITE FAMILY.

Sackett's Harbor. I was enrolled as a village volunteer, and
took a part in the memorable battle at that place in 1813. My
father was an active and brave participant. My brother with a
young drummer boy remained alone in the log barracks near Fort
Tompkins, after, the militia had fled, and seeing Colonel Grey,
the commander of the British forces, brandishing his sword, to
encourage his men to advance, one of these boys, resting his gun
between the crevice of the logs, shot Colonel Grey through the
heart. At the fall of their commander, a panic seized his troops,
and they retreated and the place was saved.

In 1823 I was vestryman at Zion's Episcopal church. I then
became a Methodist preacher and was appointed by the Oneida
conference, a missionary to Green Bay, Wisconsin, and the
Oneida Indians. Iu the autumn of 1834, I sailed with my family
from Detroit, on the Lady of the Lake, Captain Dobbins com-
manding. G. M. Beall, Esq., was a passenger. I found an
interesting social circle at Green Bay, Wisconsin, by whom we
were kindly received, and with whom we spent two years very
pleasantly.

A detachment of the Fifth U. S. Infantry, under the command
of General Brooks, was stationed at Fort Howard. The officers
were gentlemanly men, and with their families furnished a valua-
ble addition to the community. The civil list was composed of
men and women of sterling worth, among whom were Morgan L.
Martin, Daniel Whitney, Tommy Green, Joel Fiske, G. M. Beall,
Carlton Wheelock, etc., and their families. After two years of
pleasant intercourse with the society in Green Bay, in 1836, we
removed to Calumet, up the Fox river in a yawl boat, as there
was no passable road.

I built a log house, and had but two neighbors between my
home and Milwaukee, seventy-nine miles, they were Edward Pier
and brother. Judges and lawyers made it convenient to happen
along at m}' house to stay over night, and if social communion,
free from all restraints of conventionalities, was ever enjoyed, it
was at such meetings. My place, Calumet, had long been the
home of a band of Menominee Indians, and I was urged by them
to establish a trading post for their accommodation. I consented
on one condition, that I would never under any circumstances fur-

POSTERITY OF PEREGRINE, JR. 201

nish them with intoxicating liquor, and I never did. I found
them a trusty, honest people, when not crazed by strong drink,
literal fire-water. Unprincipled men would come into their neigh-
borhood with a keg of liquor, and when they had imbibed the fire-
water, they seemed to have no more strength or reason in them,
and they would barter their all for one more taste.

As a proof of their honesty to those traders, who were true to,
and trusted them, I will relate an incident. At one of the Indian
payments which the traders were accustomed to attend, I was
standing in company with others, by the Council house, when an
Indian who had just received his annuity came out with his money
wrapped up in one corner of his blanket. This Indian owed me
twenty dollars. I said nothing to him ; but a trader who sold
whiskey demanded his pay, and seized the Indian's blanket in
order to secure his debt. The Indian resisted, and the agent
hearing the noise, came out and took the Indian under his protec-
tion.

Some hours after the payment closed, as I was standing in a
company conversing, I felt my coat gently pulled, and lookiug
around, an Indian woman extended her hand towards me, filled
with half dollars. She said Kis-Ko-Top-Way (the debtor's name)
had sent me the money that he owed me.

I have been requested to write a biography of my brother
Peter and of my brother William, but in consequence of my long
separation from them, I have not the material to make it inter-
esting. I will say, however, that they were in an eminent sense
nature's noblemen. They have passed into the unseen but real
life, and are enjoying the elevated position to which their devo-
tion to the right entitled them, and the prospective dealing which
is assured us the birthright of all.

I am the only one of my father's immediate family remaining,
and now in my eightieth year.

I await with confidence in God, and assurance of another and
better life, my coming change.

Iu June, 1776, a vote was passed giving the following instruc-
tions to the representative of the town :
"To Mb. Mark White, Jr.:

' ' Sir, — Our not being favored with the resolution to the Hon-
orable House of Representatives, calling upon the several towns
in this Colony to express their minds with respect to the important
question of American Independence, is the occasion of our not
expressing our minds sooner.

' ' But we now cheerfully embrace this opportunity to instruct
you on that important question.

"The subverting our constitution, the many injuries and
unheard of barbarities which the Colonies have received from
Great Britain confirm us in the opinion that the present age will
be deficient in their duty to G-od, their posterity and themselves,
if they do not establish an American Republic. This is the only
form of Government we wish to see established.

" But we mean not to dictate.

' ' We freely submit this interesting affair to the wisdom of the
Continental Congress, who, we trust, are guided and directed by
the Supreme Governor of the world, and we instruct you, sir, to
give them the strongest assurance - that if they should declare
America to be a Free and Independent Republic, your constit-
uents will support and defend the measure with their lives and
fortunes."

into the store of his uncle, Dea. John White of Concord, Mass.,
to work at the early age of twelve years, and even at that age he
played the bass viol in Mr. Ripley's church, and was so small
that they had a special platform built so he could reach up to
play the viol. He remained with his uncle seven years, and
always drove the old chaise back and forth from Boston each
week, finally making all the purchases for the store. He had a
great veneration and love for his uncle and always said that what-
ever success he had in after life, he attributed to his training at
•his uncle's. His wife, Mrs. Susan (Rogers) White, was a lineal
descendant of John Rogers, the martyr.

1. Elliott G., b. in Cavendish, Vt., June 8, 1856. He lived
with his parents on the old White farm and attended the common
school until he was 18 years of age, when he entered the service
of his uncle, Hon. Foster E. Swift of North Adams, Mass., a
famous hotel landlord, with whom he had remained one season. In
the fall of 1875 he went to Boston and was engaged as a conduc-
tor on a horse car of the Cambridge Street Railway Co., where he
remained seven months. Returning home he assisted his father
on the farm until the spring of 1880, when he hired out as head
clerk in the Waukeag House, a watering place in Sorrento, near
Bar Harbor, Me. In the fall he returned to his home in Caven-
dish and was married to Miss Nella C. Wheeler of Chester, Vt., a
teacher in the public schools of that town. Immediately after his
marriage he was appointed postmaster, town clerk, and librarian
of the Fletcher town library of his native town, which offices he
has held continuously to the present time, 15 years. He has
served as collector of taxes and selectman and is now chairman
of the board. He has always voted with the Republican party
and for four years discharged the duties of deputy sheriff.

In addition to his offices he owns and carries on a farm and is

a dealer in flour, grain, and general merchandise. He is one of
the trustees of the Chester Savings Bank and a director in the
Chester National Bank. He is also connected with the real estate
office of Clark & Hazelton of Boston, in which business he has
been successful.

He is a member of Green Mountain Lodge No. 4, Knights of

Sketches from a memoir of Dea. John White, by Daniel Shat-
tuck, of Concord, Mass : —

Dea. John White was a man of high reputation in the town of
Concord. In his early years he was a painter. In 1773 he began
trade in dry goods, etc., at which he was quite successful. He
was one who took part at Concord fight, April 19, 1775, and an
officer at the taking of Burgoyne, 1777. Soon after this he left
the army and took up his trade again; but frorr 1780 to 1790,
trade was very uncertain and often unprofitable. Those of the
present day can hardly realize the difficulties of business of all
kinds during this period. But in 1790 a happy change appeared.
The constitution had been adopted, duties were uniform in all the
states, enterprise started into new life and with it credit and con-
fidence. There has been perhaps no period since the nation
existed, considering its population, when so much wealth was
accumulated as during the twenty years beginning 1790. It was
during this period that Deacon White made business profitable.

210 WHITE FAMILY.

He had an extensive trade from towns in New Hampshire and
Vermont. His store was widely known, and all who came to
trade with him felt great confidence in his integrity and fair deal-
ing, and thus his business was extended. In 1812 he was chosen
representative to the general court.

His religious opinions inclined to the Calvinistic faith rather
than the Unitarian, the faith of Rev. Dr. Ripley ; yet no aliena-
tion existed between them until about the year 1826. It had
been the policy of the Orthodox sect for a few years previous to
this period to take possession of the old churches, if possible ; if
not, to divide and form new societies and to sever all connection
with Christians professing the faith of Channing, Worcester, and
Ware. For many years New England was rent asunder, and
weak societies sprang up all over the country from this cause.
It was hoped that Concord might be exempt from this contagion,
because from the days of Berkley (save for a short time), we had
lived in harmony, all attending the same church. But we were
not exempt. In 1826 John Vase, with about twenty others,
seceded and formed a new church. The ties of affection and
friendship between himself and Dr. Ripley and others were too
strong to be easily' severed. In 1827 he resigned the office of
deacon, to which he was chosen in 1774, and which he had filled
with so much propriety for over forty years ; he was dismissed
from the church at his own request, having paid over to his suc-
cessor the church fund, of which he had been trustee. The
church on the fifth of March, 1827, passed a unanimous vote of
thanks for his long and faithful services as deacon and trustee.
Deacon White was fond of children ; would inquire the names of
those he did not remember, and say, " Be good boys, go to school,
and mind your mother," and as they went away gave them little
books of which he always kept a supply. Children would not
let New Year's day pass without going to see Deacon White.
Through the entire day he heard, " Deacon, I wish you a happy
New Year," and they all had something for their kind wishes.
Sometimes the wish might not have been disinterested — the mother
might have given the lesson thus, " Deacon, I wish you a happy
New Year, and mother says 1 may take a primer, and the rest
in sugar," and the little urchin had both.

POSTERITY OF PEREGRINE, JR. 211

He was kind, charitable, and benevolent ; the poor and desti-
tute never applied in vain. He had kind words for the afflicted,
and those kind words were remembered long after mere acts of
charity were forgotten. His deeds of charity were not like the
broad river, to be seen by all who passed by, but more like the
meadow brook, flowing still, constant, clear, and almost unseen,
but as it ripples sparkling over the pebbles below. He was active
in promoting the welfare of the church, the religious society, and
the moral and civil improvement of the community, when it was
known Deacon White had made up his mind to join the other
church, Dr. Ripley was grieved, and the loss of such a man to
himself and the church was severely felt, but to the new society
he was a great acquisition, to which during the few years he lived
after he joined it he was a liberal contributor and at his death he
left a legacy for its support. He gave to the church of Acton,
Mass., a Bible which is now in the public library of that town.
He seemed to be imbued with kindness, sympathy, and love. In
these he believed and trusted. They were with him in his daily
walks, like good angels guiding his steps along the pathway of
life. It would be difficult to find a man who had lived so long in
whom there was so little to reprove ; and as difficult to find one in
whose life and character there was so much to love and imitate.

devoted religious man, yet different in faith, being a Universalist.
He was a man of prayer, having daily family worship and asking
blessing at the table. He was very methodical in all his ways ;
even the wood pile, like everything else around the farm, must be
in its place, every stick in order. He served in the Revolutionary
War, first as private under Captain Hudang of Littleton, afterwards
as captain. The soldiers of the army were deserting, at which
time Daniel was urged by a comrade to desert. After much per-
suasion he was on the point of yielding, when a voice was heard ;
he and his comrade followed the sound ; it proved to be the voice
of Washington at prayer alone in the field. Daniel said to his
comrade, " Will you desert such a man? " His reply was, " No ;
I will stand by even unto death." He married Mary Hunt of
Acton, a descendant of William Hunt of England, who was one
of the original settlers in Concord, Mass., 1635.

Silas White lived with his paternal grandfather, his mother

dying when he was five years old.

It has always been a tradition among the old people that they
are descendants of William White of the Mayflower .

The following is taken from a letter written by Clarence E.
White, Middleboro, Mass. :

" Our family have a coat of arms, formerly to be seen at the
Historical Rooms in Boston, now at Pilgrim Hall, Plymouth.
. . . ' White's Hill,' where I now write, has been in the
family for more than two hundred years, originally being a farm
of two hundred acres. There are six generations of the family
buried in one yard here, belonging to the Old Father Backus Bap-
tist society, the historian of the Baptists."

An Artistic Door Ajar.

It is later than her regular reception hour when I mount the
stairs at 12 West street, Boston. Indeed, it is after the closing-
hours of the building ; for the big jewelry firm at the corner has a
case of diamonds below which must be jealously guarded. But
the janitor has been requested to leave the great door unlocked
so that I may enter without difficulty. He is in the halls arrang-
ing some piping, but cheerfully bids me mount higher if I wish to
find No. 31.

Excelsior ! a finely equipped building, with the General Theo-
logical Library to keep it safe for eternity as well as time, but
even Homer nods; where is the elevator? Onward, there is 31 ;
and the slanting sunset light falls through the gates ajar — beau-
tiful gates one may add after being inside ; for there are beautiful
pictures, made of beautiful faces — faces of those after whom the
pearly gates have barely closed — faces which those who love
them desire to have reproduced by the artist's pencil.

Whatever may be the real separation between soul and body,
they are so mingled that we might as well try to find the dividing
bounds of intermingling night and day as to attempt to mark the
line where spirit ends and matter begins ; and so believe, as men
may in eternity and heaven, they want to look upon beloved fea-
tures as they embodied character in the flesh.

Miss White well says that the life rapidly transforms the face.
She learns this by her profession, for this is the studio of Sarah
Dennis White, a lady who receives me cordially, and whose con-
versation is almost as attractive as her pictures, which is saying
a great deal. She is a native of Middleboro, Mass., and has

been before the art world for some years as a landscape
painter, specimens of which lie about the rooms. Only they
do not lie ; they tell the truth as nature's counterfeit.

There is a painting of Lake Ossipee — how the human eye
likes to dwell upon such a union of mountain, trees, and water.
There is a sea view of Eddystone Lighthouse. And here is still
another — an American view — the coast of Mount Desert, near
Bar Harbor, after a storm ; a strong and lurid picture but faith-
ful to life in every detail. It ought to grace Robert Grant's new
story, "The Average Man," which is about ready for publica-
tion, and which contains a graphic description of a wooing on
this very cliff.

Three years ago she drifted into crayon portraiture, and with
such great success that she determined to make it a specialty. I
must sit on the lounge and look at the likenesses before me.
That is a face I know surely? No f'a^ Miss White says, it is an
essentially practical countenance, such as one often sees in New
England — the concentrations of an ancestry of industry and skill
in making both ends honorably meet. This picture has been
made for a son, who is so satisfied with it that he bids the artist
have it appropriately framed.

What a strikingly beautiful profile is yonder ! It is Sara Jewett,
the actress, whose New York friends — and they are of the highest
social and artistic circles — praise the likeness as catching the
very spirit of the original.

These two likenesses might stand as types of the ideal and
practical in American life. Miss Jewett's nose is firm, she will
have her way ! but what gentleness and grace in the mouth !

Yonder is President Garfield, and the portrait does better jus-
tice to his high forehead than most pictures ; for when bald heads
get into portraits they are very apt to lose their distinctive intel-
lectual foreheads in a general slope into the bare summits of the
cranium.

It is a fact curious, that the longer one resides in a strange
land, the more difficult does he find it to discriminate facial types
which were at first easily distinguished ; so it is with portraits,
says my hostess, the first impression of the face is her best. If
she can trausfer that to her easel, her work is mainly done and

the details are comparatively easy. Here is a sweet, mature face
belonging to a young girl of only thirteen, who was evidently
more with her elders than her mates. I tried various dresses and
shawls and ornaments, with this child, says Miss White, but I
could not get her real expression till I put on this simple sailor
suit, and her mother says it was always so with her at home.
Now there is Miss Jewett, arrayed in shimmering satin, embroid-
ered with seed pearls, and sucli attire makes her face all the more
beautiful. There is such a difference in faces. Here is another
maiden, who died after a few hours' illness ; that is a common type
of a frail New Englander. And whose is this clean cut face,
like a cameo in its soft outlines ? That is a level-headed edi-
torial friend, firm in his decisions, yet with a slightly depressed
slope towards the back of his head, where some men have what a
boyish friend of mine once called the bump of steem. Here is
another picture of Miss White herself, taken by a foreign artist,
where she is standing in a quaint old garden, in Berne, Switzer-
land, dreamily gazing at the shining peaks of the great Alpine
mountain wall, at the north.

But the hour is passing ! it is time to run round the corner and
see my friend, William Redmond, in his new character, and so
with a pleasant good-bye, I find my way down the flights. The
portcullis is fastened ; but it readily lets people out though out-
siders cannot so readily enter ; in which respect it differs from an
English jail I once visited, where the directions were to let every-
body in bu,t no one out without special orders. Imprisonment in
Miss White's studio would not be so bad.

Hon. William A. White.

Hon. William A. White, a resident of Santa Barbara, Califor-
nia, widely known throughout this commonwealth, died at his
home in that city recently. Judge White was born in Middle-
boro, Mass. ; was educated at Brown University, where he gradu-
ated with distinguished honors in 1857. After leaving the univer-
sity he entered Harvard Law School, Cambridge, where he finished
his professional studies. He was admitted to the bar in Boston,

244 WHITE FAMILY.

and soon after removed to Newport, R. I., where he formed a
co-partnership with Hon. William P. Sheffield, under the firm of
Sheffield & White. During his residence in Newport, his prac-
tice was large, varied, and extended, and for some time he was
the justice of the municipal court of that city. Some fifteen years
ago, ill health compelled him to remove to the more congenial
climate of Santa Barbara, Cal., and from that time, although a
constant visitor in Boston, he has made Santa Barbara his home.
Though securing in this climate, an improved degree of health,
he did not actively engage in the practice of the law, still his
legal counsel was often sought by the members of his profession
here and there, who held in high appreciation his large and varied
legal knowledge. His attention during his residence there was
almost exclusively bestowed upon dealings in real estate, and the
success born of ripe judgment and a thorough attention to busi-
ness, always seemed to attend his undertakings.

His interests in all public questions, whether of a social, politi-
cal, or educational, led him to participate to the extent of his
strength in every undertaking, and his name is linked with every
measure of improvement inaugurated in Santa Barbara during the
last dozen years. An ardent lover of books and literature, and a
deep and thorough scholar. His time, when not devoted to bus-
iness, was always actively employed in self-culture, and his liter-
ary and legal attainments were extensive, and a source of great
profit and pleasure alike to himself and his friends. His love for
his family fireside was one of the strongest characteristics of his
nature, and a source of the greatest comfort to him in his final ill-
ness was the constant presence and attention of the two he held
dearest upon earth — his wife and only sister. Courteous in his
bearing, judicial in his judgments, just in his transactions, with a
deep knowledge of men and a rare tact in his dealings with them,
he lived respected, honored, and esteemed.

John White was killed by the Indians, with five others,
while making hay July 24, 1710, in Brookfield, Mass.

After his death his widow returned to Concord where she
lived with her son John until about 1732, when the two sons,
John and Cornelius, returned to Brookfield ; John going on

his father's place, while Cornelius went on new land in the
western part of Brookfield, known as Coy's hill. Here he
lived alone about two years in a shelter made of slabs on the
side of a rock. In 1752, he became a grantee of Westmore-
land, N. H., where he purchased nine hundred acres of land.
In 1755 he moved on the farm in West Brookfield, which is
in the possession of his descendant, Samuel N. White.

Samuel White.

The first distinct trace of Samuel White which I can find, is
his enlistment, January 1, 1781, from the first precinct, of Brook-
field, Mass., to serve for three years in the War of the Revolu-
tion, at the age of nineteen. He had enlisted before from Spen-
cer, Mass., as I learn from his army record, on March 15, 1777,
in Captain McColl's company, Colonel Wigglesworth's Massachu-

setts regiment, but I cannot learn from what place. He must
have remained near Brookfield for some months, for on the twenty-
second of April, 1781, according to Brookfield records, in the
safe in the Historical Rooms in Boston, he was married to Susan-
nah Hamilton of that place.

Samuel White's parents had died while he was a small child,
and he had been brought up by his grand-uncle, Josiah White.
He had two brothers, John and Benjamin, and a half brother,
named Enos West. Enos West, when a man, lived for a time in
Providence, R. I., removed later to New Orleans, where he was
murdered by pirates. Samuel White and Susannah (Hamilton)
White had twelve children, of whom one or two, at least, were
born in Brookfield. Some were born in Calais, Vt., and I think
some must have been born in New Hampshire, while the family
were practically en route for Vermont, as I have heard that they
came in company with William Templeton from New Hampshire,
and I know that Polly, Samuel's oldest daughter, married Tem-
pleton.

The children of Samuel and Susannah White were, Polly,
Lorania, Sewall, Lucy, Clarissa, .Tosiah, 1794, (my grandfather),
Celia, Jesse, 1798, Leonard, Samuel, Susan, and Priscilla.
When Priscilla was six months old her mother died, and Mr.
White married for his second wife, Deidama Wakefield Cross-
man, and had two children, Enos and Silas. He lived at Pekin,
on what has since been known as the old Sheldon farm. He had
to work by the day to purchase his first seed grain, and to carry
his grists to the mill at Peacham on his back.

His farm when he first moved to it was a wilderness, his only
team one of oxen. He died in Montpelier, Vt., July, 1839 ; his
army record gives the date as the thirteenth ; his grand-daughter's
letter, authority for the most I know, gives the thirtieth.

Susannah Hamilton, the first wife of Samuel White, was the
daughter of Erasmus Hamilton of Brookfield, Mass., and his
wife, Mary Adams, daughter of Abraham Adams, and a lineal
descendant of Henry Adams of Quincy. Abraham Adams's chil-
dren were: Eliphalet, born August 1, 1762; Susannah, born
December 4, 1763 ; Abraham, Lydia, Betsey, Sewall, Jesse, Oba-
diah, Jabez, Polly, Cyrus.

MISCELLANEOUS FAMILIES. 251

Mrs. White was loved by all who knew her. She had a better
education than most of her neighbors, and I have been told that
they used to come eveniugs, from miles around, to hear her read.

This family preserved a record of the persons who came to
America in the Mayflower, and believed themselves to have
descended from William White.

between the years 1720 and 1750, might have been the grand-

The Old Arm Chair.

I love it, I love it ! and who shall dare

To chide me for loving that old arm chair !

I've treasured it long as a sainted prize ;

I've bedewed it with tears ; I've embalmed u with sighs.

'T is bound by a thousand bands to my heart ;

Not a tie will break ; not a link will start.

Would you know the spell ? A mother sat there !

And a sacred thing is that old arm chair.

In childhood's hour I lingered near

The hallowed seat, with listening ear ;

And gentle words that mother would give,

To fit me to die and teach me to live.

She told me that shame would never betide

With Truth for my creed, and God for my guide ;

She taught me to lisp my earliest prayer

As I knelt beside that old arm chair.

I sat and watched her many a day,

When her eyes grew dim and her locks were gray ;

And I almost worshipped her when she smiled,

And turned from her Bible to bless her child.

Years rolled on, but the last one sped —

My idol was shattered, my earth star fled !

I learnt how much the heart can bear,

When I saw her die in her old arm chair.

'Tis past ! 'tis past ! but I gaze on it now

With quivering breath and throbbing brow ;

'T was there she nursed me, 'twas there she died,

And memory flows with lava tide.

Say it is folly, and deem me weak,

Whilst scalding drops start down my cheek ;

But I love it, I love it, and cannot tear

My soul from a mother's old arm chair.

Chair and Table owned by Hannah (White) Hunt, born 1765.

Thos. White, Esq.,

Marlborough, N. H.
Dear Sir : Enclosed please find photograph of chair and table
owned by my grandmother, Hannah Hunt, of Heath, born White
in Lancaster, Mass., in 1765, and who died in Heath, July 19,
1839. I remember to have heard her say that she was a direct
descendant from Peregrine, but do not know that any of our
family are able to trace it.

It used to be said that this table was brought over in the May-
flower. Whether or not that is authentic, I am unable to say.
It has occurred to me that you might like to insert this picture in
your White genealogy. If it is not too late I will send you a
profile of my mother, daughter of Hannah (White) Hunt.

Yours truly

John H. Leavitt,
Pres. of the Leavitt & Johnson Trust Co., Waterloo, Iowa.

Nancy White is said to be a descendant of Peregrine.
She was from Andover, Mass., and married a man by the
name of Fry. She died in the early part of this century.

— From George N. Hill, 236 State St., Boston.

Granby, who was the father of Luther White, attorney-at-
law, Chicopee, Mass.

Royal White was in the Revolutionary War. There is
a piece of land in Mansfield, Mass., known as the "Royal
Lot," said to have been owned by him. Some one once said
to him, "I never before heard of any one by the name of
Royal." He answered, "Well, there are royal cities and
royal bounties, and why not Royal White?" His daughter
Sylvia, b. 1770, was grandmother to Mrs. Alice Blanchard
Leonard of Mansfield, Mass., whose husband's grandmother
claims to have descended from Peregrine, which gives her
Jittle boy an extra portion of Pilgrim blood.

eightieth anniversary of the birth of Mr. Curran White. His
daughter, Mrs. E. L. Negus, had prepared a surprise for him by
inviting sixteen of the oldest of his friends to help him celebrate.
Much care was taken that all might be complete, so a number of
guards were appointed to stand around and keep the boys and
girls from flirting.

Daniel Tichenor, 91 ; Mrs. Crowell, 80 ; Mrs. B. Arnold, 71 ; Mr.

Mr. White was a descendant of Peregrine White, the first child
of English parentage born in New England.

He was the eldest of a family of ten children. When twelve
years of age he went to live with a man by the name of Cum-
mings, a farmer and orthodox deacon, in the town of Winthrop,
Me. He left Winthrop at the age of eighteen, and became a pupil
in Farmington academy. Having previously received little or no
education he was obliged to enter one ,of the lowest classes in the
school. He applied himself so assiduously to his studies that at
the end of the second or third term he was able to engage as a
teacher.

In 1812 he was in Augusta assisting in raising troops to enter
the U. S. service. In January, 1813, he marched to Castine with
a company in which he served as a non-commissioned officer, and
remained there and at Eastport nearly a year. From a journal
kept by him during the year it appears that about the only part
of his experience suggestive of war was an occasional glimpse of
such vessels as the Wasp and the Rattler.

Mr. White came to the vicinity of Montville about 1819, as a
school teacher, and taught his first school in this section in South
Freedom. Two or three years later he bought an interest in a
saw mill on the Half Moon stream, North Montville, standino-
near the present site of Colby's mill, and a tract of land near it,
built a log house, married, and commenced housekeeping.

For many years Mr. White spent his winters teaching school,
in which calling he is said to have been very successful. He had
a good reputation as a teacher of vocal music, and usually supple-
mented his day schools with an evening singing school. In 1828
or 1829 he built the house now standing near Colby's mill. He

persisted in raising it without the use of liquor and had consider-
able difficulty in procuring a crew in consequence.

For a long series of years he served his town as selectman and
representative in the legislature. In 1844 he was the Democratic
candidate, or, rather, one of the Democratic candidates for con-
gressman in his congressional district. On the third ballot, taken
early in 1845, he received a majority over the seven other candi-
dates, and served one term.

Mr. White was a man of sound judgment, wide information,
and a tact for saying the right thing in the right place.

He d. June 7, 1860.

Mr. Samuel White :

Dear Sir. — Seeing the enclosed paragraph, and taking an inter-
est in your undertaking, I have ventured to address you, though
possibly you may have seen the White genealogy published man}'
years ago in connection with that of Adams, of Quincy. It is
many years since I have seen the book, which belonged to Adams
White, Jr., of Brooklyn, Conn., and is now in possession of
one of his daughters in New Jersey. I know it connected the
family back to Peregrine, but it is so long since I saw the work I
cannot particularize, nor can I note how or at what time the
Adamses and Whites intermarried.

My grandfather, Joseph Foster, married Chloe White, daughter
of Adams White, she a sister of Adams White, Jr., before men-
tioned. The families then resided in Dudley. Grandfather White
removed to Connecticut, finally residing in Brooklyn, and Grand-
father Foster in Hampton. I was a sort of pet of Grandfather
White's, residing in the same town, and he sometimes used to
suggest that I had good blood in my veins, running back as it
did to Plymouth Rock and the Adamses. It used to tickle my
boyish vanity, though it never "set me up" nor made me proud.

The AVhite family intermarried with the Capron family, and in
its genealogy the White branch, coming from Adams, is delineated.
Perhaps I am ploughing old ground, that which is familiar to
you. Both Adams and Adams, Jr., lived to be aged, and what

was remakable, the elder, who was a great reader, wore no glasses,
save for about six months when fifty, after which his eyesight
returned and was perfect to the end. The stamina of the White
blood shows in me, on the eve of seventy-seven and never wore
glasses.

Excuse this intrusive letter and believe me,

Fraternally yours,

William Foster, Jr.

P. S. — I ought to have noted that I wrote this by candle light,
as my gas is at the side of my library, too far to give an adequate
light.

When Daniel White lived in Upton, Mass., there was another

height they were distinguished as "long Daniel" and "short
Daniel." It is understood Daniel had a brother Samuel. Daniel
was in the Revolution. Twenty years ago a Mr. Hamilton came
to this branch of Whites, trying to trace out a branch of the
White family, in order to get a large sum of money in England,
which he said could be obtained if the line could be traced
unbroken. He said he had traced the Whites back to their origin ;
that they originated from the Earl of Mar, a Scottish chieftain
who lived in Scotland in old feudal times. There has always
been a Daniel in the family.

He Was a Sturdy Pilgrim. — Interesting Sketch of William White,
Lineal Descendant of Peregrine White.

In the field of genealogical research there are ever many
seekers for information concerning the descendants of the Pil-
grims of Massachusetts Bay. Some of these descendants are
residents of Bangor and other places in MaiDe, and a recent
inquiry from a Boston gentleman concerning one of them has
prompted a friend to send the appended sketch to The Neics for
publication :

To The Daily News: William White, one of the earliest settlers

286 WHITE FAMILY.

and oldest citizens of Waldoboro, died at his home in that village
July 30, 1887, at the advanced age of 94 years. He was born
April 15, 1793, in the town of Goshen, county of Hampshire,
Plymouth Colony, and was a lineal descendant of the historical
Peregrine White, the first Pilgrim male child born in the Colony.

His life was nearly commensurate with that of the American
Republic. He was born the first year of Washington's second
administration, and was the youngest of ten children, eight boys
and two girls. One of the sisters still survived at the time of
William's death, at the age of 98. The eight brothers were
blacksmiths — axe-makers by trade, and were widely known for
the excellence of their workmanship.

William White was the son of Ezekiel White and Sarah Vinton.
The names of the ten children of this marriage sufficiently attest
the Puritan spirit with which the pareuts, iD common with the
other inhabitants of the colony, were imbued. They were Ezekiel,
Peregrine, Philip, Nathaniel, Abiather, Ephraim, William, Sarah,
and Dolly.

William first came to Waldoboro in the fall of 1810, and spent
the winter in that town, returning to his home in Goshen in the
spring. He returned again, however, to Waldoboro the next year
and established his home, where he continued to reside until his
death. He married Sally Weaver, a daughter of another of
Waldoboro's early settlers, by whom he had four children, three
of whom — sons — are now respected residents of the village. Two
brothers also came to Maine about the time that William came —
Job, who lived and died in Belfast, and Abiather, in Jackson,
Waldo county. Chandler White, who died in Bangor in 1869
and was the father of Peregrine White, Esq., now a prominent
lawyer of the city, was the son of Abiather.

William was always painstaking and solicitous to do his work
well, in the doing of which his pride was ever manifest. Thou-
sands of his axes and edge-tools — the product of his own skill
and handiwork — were wielded with a pleasure and satisfaction
only known to themselves, by the early settlers, in felling the
forests and building the ships and humble habitations of the Pine
Tree State, and well may it be said (as was fittingly and feelingly
observed by the good pastor at his funeral) if the man who makes

two blades of grass grow where only one grew before is the bene-
factor of his race, surely he who forges from the rough and tem-
pers and fits for human use the tools and implements of the artisan
and laborer is not undeserving of the gratitude of his fellowmen.
The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Graham,
the Baptist village pastor, who, by tenderness, sympathy, and
Christianlike bearing, commended himself not only to the relations
of the deceased, but to all who were present. His text was the
90th, the oldest, Psalm, "Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-
place in all generations." The burden of his supplication and
prayer was, " O God, we come to Thee in this hour of affliction,
because we know not where else to go ! " His comforting words,
his utterance not infrequently well nigh stifled by the overflowing
fullness of his heart, his tenderness and fervent sorrow — all in
such perfect unison with the wounded feelings and loneliness of
the sorrowing and aged widow and friends — soothed and recon-
ciled as far as human words and sympathy could the hearts that
were heaviest laden.

daughter of Abiather and Sarah (Paine) Vinton. Soon after
his marriage (February 22, 1816) Joel White removed to
Leroy, Genesee County, N. Y., where several of his children
were born. In 1825 he moved to the town of Arkwright,
Chautauqua County, N. Y., to cast his lot with the early
pioneers of the wilderness. As he wearily climbed the
wooded hills he paused to stick the ox-goad, which he carried,
into the ground beside the rugged pathway, saying as he did
so that " it would grow.*' Many years afterward, when the
poplar switch had grown to giant dimensions, his son, Elliot
Vinton White, bought the farm in whose dooryard the senti-
nel poplar stood, a landmark for miles' around, a fitting mon-
ument to the sturdy character of Joel, the pioneer. He first
settled on the summit of the Arkwright hills, but afterward
made his home in a sheltered nook among the hills, which
was known as "Joel's Basin" for many years. He was a
good man, just and honorable in all his ways, one whose
memory yet clings around the place which knows him no
more. Children : —

Edward Winslow, Jr., joined the Pilgrims at Leyden a few
years previous to their embarking to America, and perhaps none
of them contributed more largely to the establishment and success
of the colony than he, being the third signer of the compact. In
the years 1633, '36, and '44 he was appointed governor of the
colony. He was sent as agent of the colony to the Court of Eng-
land in 1623 and '24, also '44 and '45. He possessed great
influence at the Court of Cromwell, defending the colony against
the misrepresentation of their enemies. Being appointed by

Cromwell one of the commissioners of arbitration between the
English nation and the United Provinces.

He brought the first cattle into the colony in 1624 from Eng-
land, which were committed to him and Mr. Allerton to sell for
the company. Was tried, and proved " able and faithful, a good
man."

About 1637 he removed to Marshfield where he built a house
not far from the present Winslow house, which is said to have
been built by Isaac Winslow, one hundred and fifty years ago.
He called his grant at Green Harbor, " Carsewell," from a family-
seat of his ancestors in England.

John Endicott was chosen governor in 1645 and afterwards
planned an expedition, in 1655, against the Spaniards in the
West Indies. He appointed Governor Winslow first commis-
sioner of the commonwealth to superintend the expedition. On
the passage between Hispaniola and Jamaica he was seized with
fever and d. May 8, 1655, aged 59 years, 6 months. His remains
were consigned to the ocean with the honors of war. His widow
d. in Marshfield , 1680, and is buried in the Winslow bury-
ing ground. It is supposed that her son, Peregrine White, was
buried beside her.

ton of Pembroke, Mass.

Governor Josiah was the first native born of the country who
held the office of governor. He was early introduced into public
life, and has been called the most accomplished man of his day in
New England. He not only had the courage to encounter the
ambush and bullets of the Indians, but that nobler courage,
called moral, to oppose the rigorous measures against the Quakers
in 1658. And it is not often we find, even to this day, public
men with moral nerve to stand up in opposition to the great body
of the people whom they serve ; less often are they found to
possess the strength of character to stem the torrent of general
public delusion. Governor Josiah died in Marshfield, December
18, 1680, aged 52 years. The expenses of his funeral were
directed to be paid from the public treasury, in testimony of the
colony's affection and gratitude. His widow died in 1703.

Asa Metcalf's father, Nathaniel, came to this country previous
to the French and Indian War, with two of his brothers. He
mar. Rebecca Dill in Wales. She proved herself to be a remark-
able woman. During the French and Indian War. her husband
was discharged from the army at Fort Hall, N. Y., with two
others. They were waylaid, at the foot of Flat rock, Fort Ann,
by the Indians. He was shot through the heart ; one of his com-
panions was severely wounded, and the other escaped. The
people at the fort, hearing the firing of the Indians, rushed out
and recovered the bodies.

The troops being defeated at the forts on the lakes made the
Indians bold, and they pressed on toward Fort Albany. Mr.
Metcalf and wife had all their earthly possessions in the fort at
Greenwich which was garrisoned with about forty soldiers. Panic
stricken they fled to Fort Albany, and left Mrs. Metcalf and little
son Asa, about three years old, in the fort. She could not be
prevailed upon to go with them. They, knowing that a body of
Indians was close by the fort, left her with all belongings of the
fort. The first night, she expected an attack and was not disap-
pointed. She left her child in a stack of peas with instructions

not to make a noise, which were obeyed. Twelve muskets with
ammunition were in the round house ; these she loaded and placed
in the most convenient position, with a determined resolution to
give the Indians their contents. At night she secured the gate
and took her position in the round house. It was a dark, rainy
night, so she took precaution to get her proper bearing upon the
gate, so as to know where to put the balls. Between eleven and
twelve o'clock, as near as she could guess, the Indians came to
the gate and made an attempt to break in. Desiring to deceive
them she went over the fort pretending to route up the men.
Quickly entering the round house she discharged her arms in quick
succession. They fled. The soldiers who ran away were repri-
manded by the commander of Fort Albany. A volunteer com-
pany was soon raised to go to the relief of the heroic woman at
Greenwich, arriving there in the morning. Pools of blood were
found at the gate and the appearance of carrying away the dead
and wounded, which was an Indian custom. The widow moved
to Fort Albany, thence to Pittsfield, Mass. Supposed that she
moved from there to Hubbardston where her son Asa married
Mehitable Upham. (My grandfather Metcalf was this child; he,
after becoming a man, owned a farm in Northfield, Mass. By
fraud lost all his property and subsequently moved to Chesterfield.
A very poor man, died* in Marlborough, N. H., aged 88
years. T. W.)

ADDENDA.

Mason L. enlisted June 13, 1862, in Company B, Ninth Ver-
mont Infantry. Mustered into service at Brattleboro, Vt.,
June 16, 1862, and left for Washington, D. C, early in July.
Stayed near Washington three or four days; then went to Winches-
ter, Va., in the Shenandoah valley. Here he did guard duty,
building forts and breastworks until September, when they were
driven back by the rebels and fell back to Harper's Ferry. They
held the place until about the middle of the month, when the rebel
armies made an attack, and after three days battle, forced them
to surrender. They at once were paroled and marched to Anna-
polis, Md., and afterwards sent to Chicago, 111., where they went
into camp. March, 1863, they were ordered back to Virginia,
having been exchanged about January 1, 1863. AVhile on board
a steamer in the Chesapeake Bay he was taken sick and, landing
at Fort Monroe, was sent to Chesapeake Hospital, near Hampton,
Va. By order of General B. F. Butler, November, 1863, he was
sent on board the flag of truce steamer, New York, where he
remained on duty until the close of the war. Was mustered out
of service at Richmond, Va., June 13, 1865. His father, Calvin
White, enlisted at the same time, and remained with him until the
regiment reached Chicago, 111., where, on account of poor health,
he was discharged, November, 1862, and sent home.

FINIS.

While I review the honorable lives of mj' ancestry I feel
most grateful to God for giving me my birth from such* a lineage.

I find my ancestors to be men of worth, and faithful followers
of the Blessed Jesus. They left their father-land, being persecu-
ted for their love of freedom and true Christianity, and became
pilgrims in this country. Those of their posterity with whom I
have communicated I find endowed with the same love of God
that our fathers possessed.

As an author of this work my attention was first called to col-
lecting historical and traditional records by the traditions told me
by my father, and substantiated b}' an old trunk containing old
deeds and receipts belonging to my grandfather and great-grand-
father, which came into my possession at the decease of my
father in 1865, leading me to investigate this noble line of ances-
try.

I wish to thank all who have rendered assistance to me in com-
piling this work, especially Mrs. Sarah E. Bosworth of Pembroke,
Mass., and Mrs. II. D. Osgood of Somerville, Mass., also my
grand daughter, Beitha C. White.

And now in my seventy-eighth year, while laying down my
life's work so soon to close, I wish to say to all that I have been
most wonderfully elated with so noble a posterity.

Thomas White.

The author aud compiler of this volume undertook the labor
involved in its preparation from sentiments entirely unselfish. He
made it the object of his last ebbing energies. Having in weak-
ness and illness survived to read the final proofs, he " fell on
sleep " in the triumph of the Gospel on Friday evening, Novem-
ber 22, 1895, aged 77 years, 10 months, and 20 days. His sur-
viving family deem it appropriate to add this postscript to the
work of his hands.

Mr. White lived an unostentatious life of Christian usefulness
and fidelity. He was aggressive in his opposition to wrong and
in his maintenance of right. As an illustration it may be stated
— as he omitted to mention it in his biographical sketch in this
book — that he was one of the first four men to vote the Free-soil
ticket in his native town. He was strong in his denunciations of
slavery, intemperance, the liquor traffic, and every public evil.
Yet his disposition in private life was sweet and gentle as a
woman's. He has left an indelible impression not only on the
character of his immediate home circle, but in a much wider
sphere among his neighbors and frieuds.

After prayers at his late home, conducted by his pastor, Rev.
G. W. Buzzell, the formal funeral rites were solemnized, on Sun-
day afternoon, November 24, in the little Methodist church, where
he had so often been a devout worshipper. A very large com-
pany were present to testify their respect for his memory. Rev.
Mr. Buzzell conducted the impressive exercises and delivered a
judicious eulogy, founded on the closing words of the Ninetieth
Psalm : "Establish Thou the work of our hands upon us; yea,
the work of our hands establish Thou it." Appreciative words of
personal esteem were also added by the pastor of the Congrega-
tional church, Rev. J. S. Colby. Hymns were sung by the
Methodist choir, and an opportunity was given to all present to
take their final look at the peaceful face of the dead. The
remains were then borne to their permanent resting place in the
cemetery near the house he had so long called his home.
